Get a leg up on the basics of horse riding

If you’ve never ridden a horse before, it’s common to go a little too far in one direction or the other. You’re either scared silly (“That animal is HUGE!”), or feel like it’s going to be a breeze (“Tallyho, Silver!”). After all, the horse is doing all the work, right?

Riding is a sport, meaning it’s quite physical and can be enjoyed on a number of skill levels. That’s one of the many wonderful things about it! This article helps safely get beginners in the saddle (and keep them there) by covering these basics.

Horse Riding Safety Tips

We want you to feel as relaxed as possible about your first rides, but there are some safety rules you should always follow.

Horses are one of the best things in the world – no argument from the Horse Rookie team, here–but they are also tall, heavy, and afraid of things like plastic bags.

How to Ride a Horse Step by Step

Learning to ride a horse can look very complicated, and there is a lot that goes into riding well. But breaking down each element into baby steps helps riders of all ages become proficient equestrians.

How to Get on a Horse for Beginners

One of the coolest things about horses is that they are so tall. One of the scary things about horses is that they are, again, so tall. Yikes! (Don’t even get us started on these 6 tall horse breeds…)

The first step to every ride? Getting on! (Source: iStock)

How are you supposed to get up there? Good news. With a little practice, mounting a horse is easy:

Here is a helpful video showing how to mount a horse from the ground. This person is using a Western saddle.

You may also use a mounting block, which is a wooden or plastic stepping stool designed to bring you up to the level of the stirrup and make it easier to get on. The mounting process, itself, will be the same.

Here’s a video that shows how to safely use a mounting block. This person is using an English saddle.

Mounting your horse is a lot easier if you’re wearing the right pants. Check out the 9 Best Breech Brands for no-regrets apparel.

How to Stop a Horse for Beginners

As fun as your first ride will be, you’ll want to bring your horse to a stop at some point. Just remember — you’ll be slowing down and then stopping. There shouldn’t be any “slamming on the brakes” while you’re in the saddle.

Here’s a helpful video about how to stop a horse:

How to Walk on a Horse for Beginners

Once you’ve successfully gotten up into the saddle, you’re ready to cue your horse to walk. Remember to relax as much as possible. Tight muscles will make everything more difficult.

How to Trot on a Horse for Beginners

Trotting is similar to jogging for a person. With each stride, your horse will be bouncing up into the air a little–and that means that you’ll be bouncing a little, too.

If walking on a horse feels like the gentle swaying of a boat on the water, trotting is going to feel like the waves are coming up a little higher. (Or, a lot higher, in the beginning.)

Here’s how to stay “afloat.”

How to Post on a Horse for Beginners

It’s a funny sounding term, but “posting” on your horse will make it a lot easier for you as you learn and improve your riding skills.

Posting involves rising slightly out of the saddle matching your horse’s natural movement and keeps you from bouncing while the horse trots. (English and Western riders can post the trot.)

How to Sit the Trot Without Bouncing for Beginners

Watching a more experienced rider trot along, without bouncing, may look like magic.

Once you’ve tried trotting for the first time, it’s hard to imagine how they do it. They must have thighs of steel, or velcro on their saddle seat! In actuality, they’ve simply practiced a LOT.

Here’s how to start improving:

Here are two helpful videos about how to sit the trot without bouncing:

I’m not trying to beat anyone I’m just having fun playing the dozens game. She started it and I will enjoy finishing it.
