Affordable Riding Lessons

Horseback riding lessons are expensive, and beginner students spend much of their time learning about how to sit on the horse, hold the reins and put their heels down. Many beginner instructors spend much of the time on theory, equipment and the nature of the horse.

What if you could cut through the beginner clutter and get on a horse and know what you’re doing from the start? You’d save a lot of money and have a lot more time to work on more advanced riding skills. You wouldn’t feel like you were paying $50 an hour to walk aimlessly around an arena with little control of your wandering horse.

For a much more affordable price, you can get the e-book “Horseback Riding: The Complete Beginner’s Guide,” by Hicks Training Systems. This book will teach you all the basics you need—from equipment to safety and mounting to rider position. You’ll even learn how to steer, how to use your legs and what to do when nothing seems to work. You’ll understand the horse’s psyche and how his experiences and sensitivity can work with you or against you.

This e-book can put you well ahead of the class when it comes to beginner riding lessons. In fact, you may find that with this book and just some time in the saddle, you may never need to spend a lot of money on lessons!

The Rider’s Position

Horseback riding takes some muscle as well as brain power. You don’t have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger nor do you need to be a brain surgeon, but you do need to be ready to break a sweat and think about what you need to do.

One of the first things a new rider will learn is the basic rider’s position. In the English saddle, the rider sits with her ear, shoulder, hip and heel in a vertical line so that her shoulders are over her hips and her lower leg comes under her. Her heel is down, but not forced so that the leg juts forward. Her back is straight and by lifting from the sternum her shoulders go back. Her elbows are bent and at her side and upper arm against her rib cage. The hands are low, near the horse’s wither to create a straight line through the reins to the horse’s mouth. Hands are closed in a fist around the reins, and the thumbs are turned upward.

To get an idea of the basic position before you get on a horse, stand in modified horse stance while you are on the ground. Spread your feet apart until they are about as wide across as your shoulders (or slightly wider). Bend your knees and lower your hips downward. Keep your back straight and your shoulders over your hips. Look down and take note of how your feet are under your hips. When you are in the saddle, this is close to the position you’ll take. In fact, when you are in the saddle, if you imagine a giant’s hand plucking you up out of the saddle by your shoulders and putting you on the ground, would you be able to hold the position or would your feet be too far in front of you?

Trying to maintain it while steering or trotting your horse will be a challenge in the beginning, and you’ll need to mentally remind yourself to correct your position. For more on the rider’s position, read the e-book “Horseback Riding: The Complete Beginner’s Guide,” by Hicks Training Systems.
