1. Proper Riding Posture

Maintaining a balanced posture is crucial for effective riding. Sit tall, keep your heels down, and hold the reins gently to ensure smooth communication with your horse.

2. Understanding Horse Behavior

Building trust with your horse is key. Learn to read their body language, understand their cues, and always approach them calmly and confidently.

3. Practicing Mounting & Dismounting

A proper mount and dismount technique ensures safety for both the rider and the horse. Use a mounting block if needed and always hold onto the reins securely.
