I just started horse back lessons and I have no clue what ill be doing on the second lesson?

July 28, 2009

My First lesson was fun but it was easy. Will i be doing new things mix with new things?

Well, all horse back riding is kinda easy. What did you do in your first lesson and how old are you? The first lesson is usually walking and stopping and turning and really basic things like that. Some people get to trot in their first lesson depending on the rider’s age, the horse’s demeanor, and the instructor’s willingness. Others will spend a full lesson or two simply learning how to walk and turn and practice navigating an obstacle course. Small children in particular are likely to spend full lessons at the walk before progressing to the trot.

I’m sure you’ll be doing some new things rather than the same old things that you did before, but don’t expect anything too challenging on your second lesson. I’d expect you to walk around cones or over poles or something and to trot on the rail or on the lunge line.

Horseback riding lesson stables in ohio?

July 28, 2009

i am lookin for a riding stable that offers lessons and has lesson horses. because i dont own a horse. i ride engish hunters/jumpers and i want to find a place that will allow you to jump higher than 2 or even 3 feet.

i live in Willoughby, Ohio if that helps.

See if craigslist.org has a section for your city/area. You can make a post to the farm/garden section with your request and you should get a lot of replies. I have found barns by asking on craigslist.

Other ways to find barns:

Do a web search for barns in your area

Visit tack stores and feed stores in your area and ask the employees for recommendations (you can find feed and tack stores by doing an internet search or look in your phone book). Sometimes they have bulletin boards where people can post info about their farms, too. These people know about every stable around and are a great source of information.

Go to a horse show in your area and ask around there

Hope these help

If you were around where I am in Ohio, I could have given specifics, but I’m not familiar with Willoughby.
