When I was in grade three my Dad’s friend taught me how to ride a horse and I went horse back riding. There were two horses one named Chevy, the other named Spike. Chevy was a Chestnut, Spike’s a Dartmoor Pony. I know it’s been a few years but I still know some horse riding techniques. If you want to know how you ride a horse.

  • To ride forwards you squeeze your legs against the horse’s sides it would walk,
  • you  can also your legs atleast three times and it will trot.
  • Hit it’s sides a few more times and your horse will gallop. If you want it to stop you have to say wooo and you pull on the reins
  • You can also make it walk backwards just pull on the reins.

 On my first ride there were a couple  bike riders rode right in front of the horse and it bucked me off and I twisted my ankle.
