Horseback Riding Essentials For The Beginner
Monday, August 6th, 2007Horse back riding, like any other hobby or sport, has its own rules of etiquette which should be followed in order to fit in well and have an enjoyable and safe experience. While most seem like common sense they none the less should be followed at all times. Most of the time you will probably horseback ride in an outdoor arena or field, but in the case of inclement weather you will probably ride in an indoor arena. No matter where you ride there are certain rules you should follow:
Horseback Riding Etiquette:
• Horseback riders should always ride in the same direction; however, if this is not possible then they should ride left shoulder to left shoulder
• Slower riders should ride on the inside closer to the arena walls while the faster riders working on the outside (closer to the center of the arena)
