Introduction to Horsemanship
This class is required for all new students. It covers basic
horsemanship skills including safety, grooming, tacking, and
basic riding skills, thus building a foundation for our continuing
riding program. Three lessons are non-riding. Students will
learn to enter a horse's stall and lead the horse from its
stall to the arena. They will also learn to tighten the girth,
adjust their stirrups, techniques to properly mount a horse
as well as the proper dismounting procedures and returning
the horse to its stall. As students become proficient with
these skills actual riding time will increase accordingly.
Students
and parents should also be aware that due to the nature of
the horse, behaviors such as spooking, biting, kicking, bucking,
and playing will occur and "how to" deal with these situations
as a rider are an integral part of Horsemanship and will be
addressed in lessons.
