Horseback riding is a fun activity as well as being good exercise for your body and mind. Whenever I’m feeling a bit down, I go riding, and always feel better so much better. It always makes me forget my problems, just for a while. When I come back to them with a cooler head I’m usually much better able to manage them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But part of that process is being in good control, and having a good ride. On the odd occasion, I’ll mess something up with my riding and end up feeling worse. I really don’t want that happening to you too! So, in this blog post, I will share some useful horseback riding techniques you should follow to avoid getting frustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horse riding is not what you see in movies – nobody just grabs a horse and rides. You need proper techniques to ride a horse otherwise you will get yourself hurt. It is not as easy as it seems and the right equipment is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing that I always recommend is that you should wear a horse riding helmet. Safety is the most important thing while riding such a huge animal. If you’re in the market for a good helmet, I’ve got a review of three of my favourites<\/a> you should check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear comfortable boots that fit the stirrup with a little heel of about one inch to prevent your feet from slipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
