Riding and Caring tips for Your Horse
1. If you're riding western make sure there is a line from horn to bellybutton to cantle.
2. If you're riding english it's basically the same thing but you don't have a horn.
3. Remember when riding if you fall off always get back on.
4. Always remember the hardest part of riding is the ground. Unless the ground is covered in pillows. On that hand you're safe.
5. Never call you're horse stupid or an idiot because even though they're animals they still have feelings, and yes they can understand you.

Bareback Tips
1. Make sure you can ride well before doing anything more than a walk.
2. When gripping grip where the girth goes. It doesn't speed them up. If it did you'd be in big trouble.
3. If you need help balancing use their mane. They can't feel it.
4. If worst comes to worst and you are falling off, grab onto their neck and slide off. It works for me.
