Assessing your horse riding ability
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Use the following criteria to judge your riding abilities. It is important that you are honest with yourself, as this affects your own safety and that of the other riders within the group. * Can't ride: Has never been on a horse or pony, or has been on a horse a few times and has some kind of idea of how to stay on. * Novice: Ridden a few times recently, but still not rising at the trot with ease. * Intermediate: Rides regularly and had formal lessons, can post, rise at the trot, canter, gallop, and can handle a horse in most situations. These riders are divided into prefer a 'calm' or a 'hot' horse. |
 |
* Experienced: Has been riding for many years, has had formal equine training and has his or her own horse, and can handle any horse, in any situation. These riders are divided into prefer a 'calm' or a 'hot' horse.
A horse or pony will be allocated to you based on your description of your riding ability! It is important not only for your own safety and those riding in your group but for maximum enjoyment on your riding adventure that you are honest.
The most nervous rider of each group sets the pace for safety reasons and as they become more confident we increase the pace. Having the ability to stay on the horse by hanging onto his mouth and bouncing on his kidneys is not an experienced rider.
To find the correct horse for your riding ability and to give you the best riding holiday experience, we spend time describing each horse's personality before allocating your horse. If you are nervous or have had a bad experience or fall please tell us. We can and would like to help you get the maximum pleasure out of your horseback ride.
Please if you have had a bad experience please tell us we would like to help you.
On one occasion we helped a terrified lady to ride and conquer her fears
A couple booked a day ride, as I introduced the horses she was quietly standing in the back of the group but when the time came for her to mount she froze. Then the truth came out. On instruction from her doctor, she had been told she needed to address her fear of horses. This was not just fear but a phobia. Had we known in the beginning it would have been easier for her with a one on one approach. We sent the balance of the riders off with a guide on their ride and slowly introduced her to horses. She could not touch them and it took an hour of intensive encouragement just to get her to sit on the horse's back and further encouragement to sit on the horse while the horse walked. She started off on lead rein with one of the development kids just walking holding her mount, us encouraging her. By the end of her ride she learnt to trot by herself unaided. A very emotional and life changing experience for her, she cried with joy at her achievements and the experience was extremely rewarding for us. She spent a further +- two hours walking and touching the horses in the field, she left us saying once she got home from her travels she was going to continue riding. She is often in my thoughts.
