Special supplies?
To take lessons at a barn, all you need are jeans and boots. They will provide you a saddle, brushes, bridle, helmet, horse, etc. It’s always nice if you have your own things, especially a helmet because you don’t really want to wear something that other people are sweating on, but until you’re sure that you really like riding, you can use the barn’s supplies. If you have your own horse, though, you’ll need to provide your own grooming supplies and tack in addition to your apparel.
I taught lessons for a couple years and the only things we required were pants (no shorts… but they didn’t have to be jeans) and a hard sole shoe (could be boots, but not required… just not sandals or tennis shoes… something that provides some protection if you get stepped on and not too wide so your feet don’t get caught in the stirrups).

I have no idea of what i need to wear please HELP!!
What everyone else has said is accurate, but it might be a good idea to call the riding school and see if they have a dress code. Some will not allow you to ride in jeans, and most will require real riding boots. They may or may not provide you with a helmet, and if they do not, make sure a bike helmet is acceptable before showing up with one.

My niece Mckensie riding Black Beauty at Morning Star Farm in Fredon New Jersey on August 2, 2008. She is two years old.
Do you think she will be English or Western when she grows up?

What to look for in a therapeutic horse is a good temperament, not easily spooked or flustered, a horse with training and ability to respond to rider’s aids, very patient and no major vices, that doesn’t bite, buck or rear. Learn about horse temperament in adaptive horse riding from an equestrian program manager in this free sports and recreation video.

***Please No Critique!***
-If you want to critique, go watch my newer videos.
This was my first lesson! It was amazing, and so much fun. I loved every minute!
The horse I’m riding is Simon, and my trainer is Shannon Norris at Hidden Pines. I can’t wait until my next lesson!
We did walk/halt transitions, walk/trot transitions, and then rising trot/sitting trot transitions. Then at the end, she let me off the lunge line and we started work on steering. :]]]
Comments/Critiques are very much appreciated, but please remember it was my first lesson..

which is the best saddle for horse riding?
That depends what you are going to do with your horse. If you’re just gonna hit the trails and play around with your horse, I definitely reccommend a nice leather western saddle. Don’t go with synthetic, they are junk. Of course, you don’t need a $1,000 leather one either. I got a gorgeous used leather saddle for $450, and it was in great condition.
If you are going to jump or show English, get an English saddle.
(Western saddles are the bulkier ones, with a horn, and English ones are a lot smaller and there’s not much to them.)

I have heard of people needing to pee when masturbating, is this because horse riding is like masturbation? The constant rythmic motion?
Nobody needs to pee while masturbating. Horse riding could put pressure on the uterus however.

I think its halarious when people either try to tell me competitive horse back riding is not a sport or they tell me I physically cant be doing much and its the horse who does all the work (*bursts out in laughter*) what are youre thoughts on this topic?
I have been trail riding consistently for 20 years and I agree with you. It is so funny to hear people pass judgment when they have never been riding!
My friends and I ride for the longest periods of time on the weekends when we ride from 4 to 8 hours a day.
When I had my horses at a friend’s farm and would change clothes before leaving work, my friends would ask me if I worked out. I would say "no". They ask me where I got my six pack from and I would tell them from horse back riding and then invite them to come and ride for an hour.
I keep in shape by riding. I groom my horses and saddle them up and haul water and hay and ride for hours at a time. It works muscles people didn’t even know they had, as many of my friends will tell you! It looks easy, but riding is more work than most people realize.
It is a wonderful thing whether you are competing or just trail riding! And what a great way to see some beautiful scenery, enjoy the company of friends, meet new people and stay fit!

I found one at www.troxelhelmets.com, but it is too small for my head. I need something that is 7 3/8 and the largest size for the Troxel brand is 7 1/8. Any help and suggestions of where to look would be awesome.
I’m working at a ranch this summer, and will hopefully be able to return next year, which is when I really need the hat/helmet because I’m hoping to be a wrangler.
