Dont pull on the reigns to hard to slow down, sit heavy in the saddle and lean back slightly. Riding is fun, just becareful , trust your horse, just relax, let your horse know your the boss! and you'll be fine :D When i first started riding, i never kicked the horse or was in control because i was afraid i would hurt it. But seriously, horses are brought up mountains with heavy loads and raced! They can only just feel you really lol :D Most importantly, Dont worry! Just have fun, relax and try your best! ;)<br><b>References : </b><br> Heya i havent riden that long but i hope this comes as help! ;) Always Get on your horse ( mount ) from the left side :D

On your first lesson you will be taught the basics and get to know your horse. Try not to be nervous around your horse, have faith in your instructor, she/he knows what their doing. Don't worry its a really great sport. Hope this helps<br><b>References : </b><br> I have been riding for 4 years and it takes a long while for your horse o completely trust you.
