Everyone has a story about riding a horse for the first time. Most of them end up with the horse either spooking or not going anywhere when you want it to. But I think most people who train horses or are around them most of the time will tell you that it all comes down to your demeanor around a horse. Horses seem to pick up on nerves and can sense when you are not feeling like you are in control. It’s almost as if they take it vantage of that fear or They know when you are not in control and simply don’t want to do anything you ask them to do. It is a lot like having teenage kids if you think about it.

The fall could be the perfect time for you or the family to get back on a horse. And if you’ve got kids, horseback riding lessons are a great way for them to get some exercise and also learn responsibility. As those who own horses will tell you, it is more than just putting a saddle on and going on a trail.
