4 Day Learn to Ride -
Once again and now with even more confidence we will start at 9.30 am.
First session of day 3 may find your muscles a little tense and tight but as in the days before we will start the day slowly, recapping all your new skills and making sure you are comfortable with each step as we progress.
At this stage we will be working on directional control in both the walk and trot strides. Building your confidence to move between paces with ease. You will start to develop a "feel" for your horse and it responds to your instructions.
Coffee or tea and a stretch of those muscles today will be a welcome interlude.
What is now your 6th session will, depending on weather conditions be, your first taste of riding in the outdoor arena.
This feeling of space and freedom is exhilarating now you feel confident and secure in your riding position. All the topics covered within the indoor arena will be recapped outside with the added benefit of more space and freedom of movement. We will begin to move into open order rides which as they describe allow you more freedom and control to experiment, building a bond with your horse based on mutual respect.
Lunch time again gives you a chance to discuss with your instructor and fellow equestrians any topics you feel you would like to cover in more depth.
Well done your amazing !
