Does anyone know where I can learn to ride horses in Houston, TX?

July 24th, 2010

My daughter, 15, wants to learn to ride horses. We’re not sure if she is too old to ride for show, but even if that is so she wishes to learn. We need a place that is in the Houston/Katy area.

What do you think about Parelli Natural Horsemanship?

July 20th, 2010

I’m thinking of using Parelli with my horses, what do you guys think about it?

With any training method it is best to pick the best of each "professional" and make your own choices with the best of the best.
I personally love Parelli however, I don’t think its a good idea to promote riding with a group or alone with only a halter, no matter how broke/safe/bomb-proof your horse is.
I also love a lot of other ideas for training horses so I have melded them together and think the methods I use are perfect for what I’m training toward.
Do lots of research and read/view lots of methods. Even visit clinics with or without your horse to see what you like or don’t like (feel comfortable with) about the ideas they use.

EDIT:
Re: promoting riding with only a halter.
I didn’t say it isn’t something I personally use or something I don’t recommend to others, just not right away and NEVER on a trail with or without others. Safety first — always — no matter how well the horse does in this headset. I have seen many very well trained horses almost kill their rider due to another horse/rider’s blow-up. I have ridden many animals with nothing and had complete control. I would NEVER recommend this to my clients until all the safety avenues and precautions are addressed.
I’ve heard Pat Parelli & his diciples many times suggest that this is the "best and only way" to ride with the most respect from your horse. I 100% disagree!

can i buy horses but not in human world i am level 20 and i have leanred to ride a horse.?

July 20th, 2010

please help me i am a night elf hunter level 20 with 4 g and i have learned to ride a horse already so plz help.

You learned the riding skill. Mounts are totally separate from the riding skill itself, you’re going to have to ride a kitty for the time being.

There are only two ways to buy a horse if you’re not a human. You can buy them in-game once you are at exalted reputation with the Stormwind faction. This takes a lot of questing, and/or cloth turn-ins. It is barely possible to do by level 40.
The other way would be to pay $25 irl money to get a sparkle pony.

giving the rising fuel prices, won’t it be cheaper for everyone to learn horse-riding & driving carriages like?

July 20th, 2010

in the old days ?? :) )
they aren’t more expensive than cars .. and think there will be no restrictions on driving age, drinking etc .. all can ride !!

HA HA HA LOL , Kya dimag paya hai . But u didnt think about disadvantages like dirty polution , it wl make roads dirty by peeing . In one way you r rite even if person is drunk and he falls , then we can put that person on his horse and horse will carry to his home . And advantage is BMC people will get jobs .

But for me it may be usefull for going office , vegetable market and for shopping .Will think to buy horse , how is donkey or bullock?????

My daughter wants to learn to ride a horse – what are the main obstacles to overcome?

July 20th, 2010

Sorry for repeating the question but I thnk I put it in the wrong category -thanks for the responses!

For my family, the biggest obstacle is money. My sister and I both ride, which makes it twice as hard. We make it work though, even though we aren’t rich. Our lessons, which were a semi-private, cost $180 a month. Currently, my sister is a working student at the barn, so she gets a reduced price, so now our lessons are $140 (the group rate). That’s for four lessons, one per week, with hour-long sessions.

Then there’s horse shows. We both do 4-H, and we lease my trainer’s horse, plus she leases a school horse out on show days. Our lease is $100 a month, but we pay for most of that out of our own pockets (babysitting money, since I babysit regularly for a family). We really like showing, so we pay for those on our own too. Showing and leasing are things that usually come after a few years of riding, though.

But don’t let the money thing put you off — my family has worked out a system where my sister and I help pay for it, and when our grandparents (who spoil us too much, even when we demand that they not ;D) heard that we were helping pay for horseback lessons, they’ve been helping out just a little bit too.

Another obstacle that I found, as do many, many riders, was finding the right barn. One barn I went to didn’t have enough school horses to fit me in every week. One barn’s lesson program included walking in circles for an hour, maybe trotting once and changing direction, nothing more. One barn’s instructor wasn’t certified and she wasn’t reliable. Finally I found the barn I’m at now, and its a place where I should have started in the beginning. They have multiple certified instructors, lots of school horses for all different riding styles and abilities, options to lease school horses once or twice a week, or even take the school horses to select shows, and a 4-H club. Since going there, I’ve learned so much faster, and I really love riding even more.

Just a couple more things… don’t be surprised when she comes to you, saying she needs a helmet and boots. She does. If she rides english, go for paddock boots (http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=paddock+boots&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) and half chaps (http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=active&gbv=2&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=half+chaps&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=), if she rides western, then any cowboy boots with a heel will work. Boots designed for riding horses are the safest, most comfortable, and will last longest. Her helmet MUST be designed for horseback riding, and it has to be ASTM/SEI approved to be legal. Riding gloves are also a good idea, and are super cheap. My current pair was only $3.

The breeches come later, for now she can get by with jeans. I’ve been riding for 6 years and I just wear jeans most of the time.

I hope it works out for you both!
