Horseback Riding is a very popular sport to be involved in. It has great benefits for your health and leisure time. It is a great way to get fit stay fit and be strong. It is also very dangerous and very expensive. But dont't let that deter you from becoming involved.My advise is to gain knowledge and experience from many sources. You can read and watch videos as much as possible,before you even get on a horse.

If you don't own a horse learning and practicing your riding will become very expensive. We are lucky here in South Australia we have many horses and ponies that are borrowed lent, bought and sold on, that just teach people to ride.

There is great deal a horse rider can learn from reading and understanding the horse riding skills, before even learning to ride.I still read as many articles as I can find on topics I work with. One topic I teach and advise riders to learn about is the posture of the horse rider.
Learning about the horse riding muscles and postures and movement patterns will teach a new rider how to use their body well before needing to applying these patterns. Very few horseback riders learn about their own posture and use of muscles at all. Many of these horseback riders develop bad habits and poor application of aids. This results in poor riding skills. These are the riders who think they do know how to ride. So many competitive riders I speak to wish they had been taught from the beginning about their muscles and movement patterns.
Old habits are hard to break so learn good habits as you learn to ride. Prepare your body for the task ahead and make it easy to learn to ride and each horseback riding lesson will be a pleasure not a pain.

In your area, keep an eye and ear out for horses or ponies on the market or for lease. If you can't buy yet then look at riding schools or friends
Do a local, word of mouth, search in your area and choose an instructor that is well respected. Some riding instructors don't supply the horse so you will need to be specific. If you havent got your own horse then at least try and suggest riding the same horse each horseback riding lesson to get used to one while you are learning.
I am sure whatever horse you learn on it will be quiet.

I recommend the Applied Posture Riding program for all new riders to read and follow before you start riding. Training the horse riding muscles specific for horse riding while you are learning is such an advantage. I teach all my pupils to follow this program as well.Good luck with your new found sport.
