How to learn to ride a horse
It made me
accomplished
 "It was amazing."
How I did it: I started taking group lessons at a local place, and I eventually started taking semi-private lessons. As time progressed, my interest gew deeper. I became a lot more serious about it, and I started taking two private riding lessons a week with two amazing instructors. Each one had their specialty. One was very nice about things. The other somewhat took me under her wing - she pushed me, all the time. She still pushes me in fact. Without her, I would not be at the level I am today. And dedication, dedication helped a whole lot. Lessons & tips: 1. Listen to your instructor. If they tell you to sit back, then overexagerate. They will fix you. Resources: -horse magazines

It made me
How I did it: The first time on a horse was a trail ride. It went well until 2 horses fell and I was thrown. I decided to take lessons in Western Riding, found a reputable stable and am still going 2 times a week to ride. I am in training for my level 4 exam as we speak. Riding did wonders for me when I was going through a burn-out from work. The fresh air, exercise, and time with the horses was wonderfully calming. … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I chose a good classic english horseback riding school and started to take once a week lessons. In the beginning I was really afraid and couldn't do a thing. Some days I felt like shit!Then I got a new instructor, and she's tough but really cool and I started progressing a lot, and in so little time I started to take small jumps and control the horse better.

How I did it: I took a lesson for a few hours at a therapeutic riding stable. It wasn't intense or anything. It was just my boyfriend and I learning from the ownder. But I can lead a horse. I also learned how to trot, canter and jump/walk over a fence. The basics. Read how I did it…

Happy!
How I did it: I started taking lessons when I was 6, but then I quit for a while. When I turned 9, I started taking lessons again with the same instructor, and I still felt kind of discouraged, like I wouldn't be able to be any better, so I quit again. I started going to summer camp when I was 11 and while I was there, I started riding everyday. When I was riding there, I felt like I could learn to do anything on a horse, and I even won a barral race! … Read how I did it…

Learn to ride a horse.
5 months ago
Say what you will, but this is just another one of those things that I want to learn to do, mostly for the sake of learning it. It’ll be nice in my life to be able to hop on a horse and go for a ride when someone offers. If I ever move to the countryside, I can’t envision any better, eco-friendly-er way to get around. Plus, what woman doesn’t want to be swept away on horseback?
Still at it...

Just thought I’d mention that it’s been over a year now since I took my first riding lesson and completed this goal. I’m now jumping (!) and I also work at the stables as a tack girl, and am learning all about the care and keeping of horses. I hope that maybe someday I will be able to have my own! I’ve gotten so much more confident around horses, I love them to death.
