Standing up on the saddle...



“Around The World”…



My first riding lesson was fantastic! It felt awesome to do "around the world" when the horse was moving and to lay down on the saddle, when the horse was walking, without my feet on the horse . When I was riding the horse and the guide told me to turn the horse it wouldn't listen. The guide used a big whip and made the horse trot by saying "trote" and he taught me to trot with one hand on the reigns and part of it on the harness. And then he taught me how to ride with both hands on the reigns. It was such a great ride, except for when I was trying to lay down on the horse the first time (on my stomach with my legs off the side of the saddle) when it was moving because I slipped off the horse, but I landed on my feet and I was fine! It felt funny! ~Maggie
