He often wonders if it is only suitable for children, or if it is also suitable for adults. I will explain everything you need for horse care. How to prepare the horse each day before being ridden and what you need to ride. Many tips are also waiting for you on how to behave with the horse which. Seen from the outside with such a large tonnage, many may think that he is aggressive, that he is scary.
But let’s get down to business:
The origin of horse riding
Horseback riding is a very old sport, in fact the horse entered the life of man already in the times of the Romans and the Greeks.
Prepare the horse
If you are a beginner, you may not imagine everything that needs to be done before riding a horse. That’s why I’ll try to summarize all the steps before training step by step, so that those who don’t know how to behave have a clearer idea.
First of all you have to put the halter on the horse if he is in the box when entering the box. Once on, grab a leash and let the horse out. In stables there are usually special places to tie horses, but otherwise they can also be safely tied to the bars of the box.
The horse hands you his hoof, in fact before taking his hoof you must make the horse understand which hooves you want to lift so that he can transfer the weight to the other 3 legs.
How do you do? Just do not startle or irritate him, stroking the leg from the thigh, the horse will immediately tend to bend the leg. This is obviously a job that the farrier has to do but it is always fair to know everything that happens to your horse or the horse you have in trust.
The cleaning of the horse is finished, but now everything has to be put on so that the riding can begin. Sometimes on the “ankles” of horses we notice shin guards and we wonder what they are for; they are not needed for normal training, they are needed when you have to do jumps because the ankles are the most important parts of a horse. So in case the horses have bumps, better to use them.

- Saddle pad
- Sponge (optional which serves as other padding)
- Saddle
- Girth
Once the horse is ready, it’s time to mount. To ask a question, an advertisement or a service, you can join the community of the Horsecare24 online platform.

Another thing to know when you start riding is what confidence is. When you would like to have a horse. But may not have the ability to purchase it or the space, you can take a horse into trust. What is that?
