We Make It Easy

I have a 14hh welsh pony, hes around 3 years old and has been lightly backed in an english saddle and bridle.
Iv always wanted to ride western and im just wondering if you need a special horse, for it such as a quater horse?
I live in the UK so there isnt many western people around but its something I’d love to learn and for my horse to learn too.
How could I teach him to ride western?

Any tips
Thanks! xx

Okay….the reason why quater horses are used for western riding is mainly because their good with cattle. Also the type of horse depends on the country you use it in thats another reason why quater horses are used in western. It doesnt have to be a certian type of horse to be rode western. I would recommend letting the horse get used to the extra weght before riding it. It can be rode western though.

Horseback riding is one of the most fun and absorbing hobbies available. This is the reason why many people are interested to learn how to ride a horse and take horse riding lessons.

Horse riding provides many benefits and advantages as a hobby. Primarily, horse riding offers a great way to see the outdoors. Unlike traveling in a vehicle, even if it the vehicle is capable of moving through off-road tracks, horse riding lets you see the surroundings in a different perspective. The breeze of fresh air, the warmth of the sunlight, and the sounds of leaves rustling below you are priceless elements of riding a horse that you cannot experience when riding inside a motor vehicle.

Learning how to ride a horse brings you closer to nature – not only to the countryside and local terrain that you and your horse would wander to, but also you, as a human, getting closely connected with your horse as your partner. Unlike traveling in a vehicle which is purely mechanical, riding a horse makes you in constant communication with your horse on where and how you want to travel.

And since the horse should be an integral part of you riding, horseback riding also teaches people who ride horses to take care of them. This is a very good trait that can be taught even to the children. Learning the responsibility of caring for animals is a great lesson for any human to connect with nature in another level.

And aside from these recreational and environmental benefits that one can get when learning how to ride a horse, there are also health benefits associated with horseback riding. For one, horse riding is a good cardiovascular workout. You may not notice it that much since most of the time, horse riding can be very absorbing and recreational. But riding a horse works out your heart and lungs in various levels.

Riding a horse also improves one’s posture since one would be on constant guard of how he rides a horse properly. Having the correct posture when riding a horse is beneficial for your health and safety.

And lastly, horseback riding is also a fun social activity. Learning how to ride a horse brings you in contact with other people who are into the same hobby. And it brings people of like interests closer when they share and compare stories of their experiences riding their horses.

Learn to ride a horse and enjoy all the fun you can get. Learn to ride a horse and enjoy all the benefits you can have with this new hobby.

I am from New Zealand and my horse is a 12 year old Swedish Warmblood Palomino called Garbo. I started to learn to ride 6 years ago now and when I got Garbo in Year 2 we started off well but I quickly became disillusioned with the standard training methods taught to me by instructors. The use of force and whips made my horse kick, rear and buck which in turn made me lose my confidence completely, I also thought there must be a kinder way and one that didn’t require me to wear gloves to stop me getting blisters on my hands!.

2 years ago I found Parelli and started studying via the Home Study Program and this shows some Before’s and Afters in our Parelli Life. We are now studying Level 3.

Why dont people like NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP. Not parelli or any of that, but just natural horsemanship in general. The idea of natural horsemanship. The definition.
I just see lots of people dissing natural horsemanship and shunning it. Why dont people like it? If you dont like it please tell!

I’m fine with the idea of it- Clinton Anderson is amazing, Monte, etc, are awesome, so there’s no hate towards natural horsemanship to me. It’s the idiots who think that if you use bits, spurs, a crop/whip, or anything like that, you’re abusing your horse that make me mad. The extremists are the problem, not the practice. It’s like religion in that sense.

i have some experience already, but i want to learn to ride horses really good, and get a job a a trail riding place… im only 18 so i cant really afford lessons. what are some ways i can learn to ride horses?

Hm.. The only way to learn nicely is to take lessons.. You could help out at a local barn in exchange for lessons! Thats sometimes what i do..
