I spend Monday, Wensday and Friday at the stables. After school I go to the stables at about 3 in the the afternoon and leave at around 5 or 6. I spend about 2 hours in the arena with my horse. I do many warm ups that keep me balenced and strong in the saddle. I do that for about a hour and I have a lesson right after that. One Tuesday and Thursday I get a good worout. I first go for a jog with my dog. I jog for about an hour. They I relax a bit more by swing on my swing for an hour. After I eat dinner I do push ups, sit ups and many other things to get me strong when I'm not at the stable. I also do yoga on Wii fit for a half hour or so to get my balence great.
Ive always wanted 2 teach i find myself teaching my friends who are less expirienced than me on thier horses, but im only 13 so how can i get a job rite now??? but this can help my dreams come true and i can teach and help other people's riding!!!
I have just recently found out that I was holding my horse to tight which made him brace his neck and out pull me. I was able to get his neck losser and gave him a loss rein and he was a totally diffrent horse so if you have a horse bracing do that and he also would listen to the touch of the rein.
saddlebredluva: I'm no expert, but here are some ideas for you-- * Learn more about riding. Constantly read articles about training, riding position, etc. Take lessons yourself, if you aren't already. Think about what you learn and how you learn it. This will not only teach you riding skills, but it will help you develop an effective teaching style, by seeing what works/what doesn't. * Do well in school. Take it seriously. Not only will the skills you learn help you greatly, but it will teach you work ethic and control, and good grades help towards many things early in life. * Get work/volunteer at a stable or barn, especially a lesson barn. Watch lessons when you can, and see how the instructor teaches the students, and how well it works. * I believe that you can get certified to instruct once you're 16--also, research rider safety, teaching style, and other relevant topics.
Saddlebredluva: Join a horsey 4-H,Pony Club or FFA organization to learn more about riding or judging. Read the Pony Club Horsemanship Manuels- they are great for learning more information. Good luck
