A08

 

Have you ever wanted to be a horse rider??? Here you can read instructions how to learn horse riding and have some fun.

STEP 1

You should be sure that you aren’t afraid of horses. You can pat a horse and stroke it.

STEP 2

When you decide to ride a horse for the first time you can go for a walk on horseback. An instructor or an older rider should hold the horse's reins.

STEP 3

You should start lessons. Your instructor guides the horse by a rope and you can start to learn walking and trotting. During this you will do lots of exercises. Some of them have very funny names: for example “Dead Indian –woman”.

STEP 4

Do you like horse riding now????

If our answer is NO, you should take up another sport that you like.

If your answer is YES, you should learn how to saddle a horse.

STEP 5

When you can walk and trot you can ride without a rope. At the beginning it’s very difficult, because you think that the horse doesn’t notice you.

STEP 6

When your style of walking and trotting is OK, you can learn how to gallop. First on the rope and later without it. Be patient! Practice makes perfect.

STEP 7

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Now you can go to the forest on horseback. It’s wonderful when you’re galloping, feeling the wind on your face and in your hair. You must try it!!!! It’s a great adventure!!!
