Grooming and Tacking up
Explains how to groom and tack up a horse; explains what equipment is needed, what it is used for and, when applicable, how it developed. Explains parts of the saddle and bridle/ bit and their effect on the horse. Also includes, most importantly, choosing a suitable horse to learn on if doing it on your own, or choosing a reputable riding academy/instructor if you plan on taking lessons.
Basic Rider Equipment for Safe Riding
Basic protective gear for children and adults, as well as the types of clothing needed to be comfortable while learning to ride in all sorts of weather. It also covers other items the beginning rider may want to acquire in order to have it when he needs it.
Leading, Mounting and Dismounting, and Basic Position
This lesson will teach students how to lead a horse to the riding arena, how to ask the horse to stand, how to mount and dismount the horse and the proper way to hold the reins, put the feet in the stirrups irons, and how to sit.
Beginning to Ride: Walk and Halt
This lesson teaches beginners how to ask a horse to move forward in a straight line and how to halt. Before proceeding, the student should completely review the first three lessons: In any case, the student will need all the skills learned in those lessons to hope for success in this one.
Basics of the Trot
This lesson introduces the next gait, the trot. Because it is a two-beat rhythm, it is relatively simple to learn, but not easy. The horse’s back moves up and down in concert with the percussion of his hooves on the ground. The sensation is unlike any other on earth. So, people must learn it. It takes, as well, a great deal of coordination on the part of the rider. Learning the two-point position and learning to post are preliminaries to learning to sit the trot and then to canter; both of those are beyond the scope of this unit, however.
Preparing for Sitting Trot and Cantering
Cantering is what most people want to do on a horse. They have seen cowboys galloping across the West, the cavalry galloping into movie battles with flags waving, and people in red coats jumping over rock walls in movies about the sporting life in the British Isles.
We are conducting Horse Riding course at Kharghar, Panvel.
