HOW TO RIDE A HORSE FOR BEGINNERS (STEP BY STEP) đ
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 28. 05. 2024
- In this video, I cover how to ride a horse for beginners. Learning how to ride a horse is a fun and exciting experience! If you are new to horses, curious about the steps, or considering riding for the first time this should help get you started. I start the video with a couple safety tips and then walk through all the steps from brushing a horse to steering.
If you are a beginner (or at any level) I hope this gives you guidance on how to ride a horse. There is much more to learn, and I encourage you to seek knowledge if you are just starting your horsemanship journey. You can also follow this channel! I release new content every week :)
DISCLAIMER: Remember to always have a qualified equine professional around when first starting to learn how to ride a horse. This helps to keep you safe and enable a positive first-time experience.
Have a great day and I'll talk to you in the next video! đ

JSHorsemanship my family at the moment canât afford a horse but were looking .
But I love the ways you you do keep it up
I recently finished reading âPaint the windâ by Pam Munoz Ryan, and I got inspired to want to horse ride. I searched âhorse back videosâ and here I am. Thank you for posting this and one day Iâm hoping to get my own horse!
Came here because of gas prices

@@fairsuns same đ
But they have plenty of horses where I live and it doesn't take long to drive to one because I've passed lots when in the backseat so I can easily steal one- Ima have to stick with Breyers and Model Horses-
I start my first lesson on Thursday AND BOI I WONâT SHUT UP ABOUT IT
Im not even a beginner but im here x
Same but i'm trying to talk my mom to let me try and it's kinda working.we'll see how it goes
Same Iâm not I have four myself phoebe tia romi and star I just wanna see how people reach beginners some can be harsh on CZcams
Haha same đ
Same I actually got to leag manor the bestr using stands in the uk

Love your tutorial very informative. I've just started riding at the age of 65. It's been always my childhood dream. Thank you and God bless.
Thatâs exciting đ Glad this was helpful
Congratulations! I hope youâre enjoying it! I will have my first lesson this coming week (Iâm in my 40s).
we have the same childhood dream im still a kid..i live in phillipines and my parents think i just got carried away in cartoos thats why i like horses..but fr me i love to learn how to ride.....
That's great! Good thing dreams have no expiration date đ
What a beautiful comment.!
Literally, Red Dead Redemption 2 has made me loves horses, I am fascinated with these animals now and hope to one day own or at least ride one, great video!
Lol I guess Iâm not the only one who got a sudden interest in horses after rdr2
Same
same lol
Ive ridden once, my back felt so good. Now that ive played rd2, i love horses even more. Planning to work like crazy so i can move to countryside and have a horse đđ€
For all of you in these replys/ comments in general, I'd highly recommend going to farms or barns. My mother's saying is very true, and it goes "Horseless life is the easy life"
They cost a shit ton, from food, to vet bills to care and new equipment. Here where I live we can rent horses, not sure about the us or where y'all live, but renting might be another great option if you want to get a feel for it.
But yeah, think about it thoroughly, especially if you've only gotten a love for the animals recently (especially from a game) ^^
3:38 He knows what to do.
Horses are a gift that God has entrusted to us. In the past, they help us a lot. I like them.
well I love them đ đđ€Ł
And they taste good

You're so real đ
As someone whose been riding since I was 3 (my father started me on miniature ponies) and Iâm 28 now, this is a good guide for people whoâre new to interacting with and riding horses, the most important thing I tell people who ask me about horse riding is âremember that itâs a living creature with its own feelings, itâs not a vehicle, itâs your friend, treat it as suchâ. My family been riding horses both just for fun, but also for hunting and trekking through the woods for generations and we always prioritize the horses feelings over all else, to me, I treat all my horses like there my own children, give them love, attention, entertainment and fulfill all there physical and emotional needs. And bare in mind, I love in some pretty still wold country with lots of predators so I not only have to care for my horses, I have to protect them from bears, wolves, and on rare cases even mountain lions
You are such a cheery and happy teacher your horse is so peaceful.
I never thought riding a horse could be so beautiful and elegant! The training was difficult, but with each lesson I feel my connection to the horse grow stronger. It really is an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone to try it!
Excuse me for asking but donât some saddles come with a protruding handle in the front of some sort so that you can easily hold and climb up? Like in some cowboy movies
â@@zahir-ud3gl a horn?
@@zahir-ud3glthatâs western
@@zahir-ud3glenglish has no horn
Even if you are a male over 6 feet tall? I wanna try it so bad since I was a child but I am a big guy. There is also the perception that riding is for small girls and young women, at least where I come from.
I love love love horses from my childhood. The best part about holidaying for me is riding horses. But I can't pursue this passion due to where i am right now. But I really really look forward to taking it up seriously one day. Till then, vacations are all i can get for spending timw with these loveliesâ€ïž
Where r u now?
iâm supposed to be preparing for a cat, not a horse XD
Get ready to ride your cat.
@@shreyamondal7266 LMFAO

Hahaha đ
I once rode an icelandic during a fair for 4 minutes when i was 5 years old. Only time i ever rode, one of the best experiences i ever had as a kid.
This was a great video. Clear and concise. Her voice is soothing and she has a great posture.
With all due respect to my teachers, I wish they would explained it the way you did. I guess with being new to riding they think I might not last, but I have every desire to. So thank you, I will continue to watch
i love how calm u are, id like to start riding horses but i tried it once and i rlly didnt like my teacher, she made me feel awefull. so i hope i could try again with a better teacher. I really enjoy your videos â€
Hi Medina, glad to hear! đ
Just having her as a teacher would change outlook half of the beginning riders.
Yea for some reason horse riding teachers are very aggressive and expect you to be a professional by the first lesson
I'm so sorry this happened to you, my family owns horses so they are teaching me but with me being older they are really pushy. It's a tradition for the first born granddaughter to win a horse riding competition and I don't think I'm ready.
"We love our horses there Beautiful"
Legend: does a cute pose
Me: GIMME GIMEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I've loved horses for many years, i really wanted a gypsy vanner, because they're beautiful
I go riding in 3 days! Iâm really excited soooo.. this is why Iâm here!
Howâs it goin? I just wanna know đ ( you dont need to tell )
Heyy, how you doing now?
This helped on my first few weeks I started bareback! It felt different because you could really feel the movement of my horse, Tangled.
which you the best .. while its time for Christmas gifts .. to your beloved horse ..

that POV camera angle from above the horse was so great. Reminded me of video games.
First step: find a farm or buy a horse.
Step two: become enemies with your bank account
haha yep thats it
Step two: not even want to do horse riding anymore
Step three: cry
Step four: love your horse anyway
=step, update your health and life insurance.
Or go horse riding lessons
Just found your channel - beginner rider here. After two lessons I can already see that there is so much to learn, but that is what lessons are for. I'm already enjoying riding...a little sore...but still enjoying it!
I want to learn how to ride a horse and I want to get a horse so badly but my mom would never let me :( they are so fascinating and so majestic. Thank you god for bringing horses into the world! One day I would want to learn how to ride a horse :)
Maybe when ur older u can dont lose hope on ur dream :)
i have to admit the way the horse was walking is way more graceful than i can ever be đđđ
Horses that I ride are a lot bigger!
Btw Iâm watching this before my second horse lesson!âșïž
Same
Are riding places open now? đ
same
Ophxlia yes they are!! And Iâm going to a horse school tomorrow đđđ»
how did it go?
Beginner rider here. Have my first lesson in riding a horse next week so I prepare mentally for that by watching horse trainers and riding instructor videos.
yep my first lesson tomorrow and here I am getting a jumpstart on my lesson beforehand lol
tsreiki how did it go?
@@Alyssa-sy3om Oh it was so good! I had a lot of fears to overcome but the instructor was wonderful, we talked through a lot of the fear and the beautiful horse, a young 4 yo OTTB, was very sweet and let out a big sigh while I was talking and it just made me feel so reassured that he was feeling me and ok that I was on him, and understanding that I was anxious but was cool about it .. I rode carefully around for nearly an hour and by then my legs were jelly đđđ.. so sore the next day but now I feel really good and really keen to go again đ„° thanks for asking x
tsreiki Awe thatâs awesome!! Are you training for competition or is it just the basics on riding a horse? I have horse riding lessons for the first time this Friday, the place Iâm going to offer competitive training or just regular riding. Iâm excited Iâm gonna do the regular riding .
@@Alyssa-sy3om just pleasure riding at the moment but who knows where that will lead not ruling anything out yet đ
I recently had my anemia get better and my depression subside so I started volunteering at a stable. Iâm glad these videos are around cause I want to start riding again and get my basics down for good. Thank you so much for these videos
Animals are great for anti-depression. I hope you feel better đ
Same on everything you said
Wow I'm so lazy on getting my anemia better and depression as well.. Happy for you. I love horses but never had the chance.
Tomorrow, I'm going to start riding lessons and this is a good guide.
Thanks!!!
Hello Sabrina howâs the weather over there
Me: has been riding western for my whole life Also me: this...this is the video for me
Why whatâs western ?
@@chrishalliwellmusic a western saddle as a horn and the english saddle doesnt i would know because i ride western lol
Tara Tanner whatâs the difference, why ride one rather than the other?
Chris Halliwell Western is a bit easier, and you only have to have the reins in one hand, unlike English, in which you have to have one rein in each hand. In my opinion itâs better to start off riding western since the saddle is bigger, making it less of a task to balance. There are some other more detailed factors, but overall, thatâs why Iâd recommend western. At least for a beginner anyway.
@@dronevideos4341 me: *who has been riding English and never rode anything else* yes
Wow! Entire beginners basic course in under 10 minutes. Much love and thanks.
I've been horse back riding for 2 months now and it's so good!
i want to get a horse so i can pat him and say "its ok boah"
âWoahhh naw hold your horsesâ
"Easyyyyy boah. Good boah."
"You alright, boy."
"Lets go, boah."
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
One of my biggest passions that i will never get tired of or forget. My love for those gorgeous and beautiful creatures really can't be described in words. Horses are truly one's of humanity best friends đđ„ș
I just had my first horse riding lesson today! Loved it! New passion đ
Hi There! As a beginner, I like to return to this video so I can still make a mental note of the basics when I am not riding, it is such a great video and easily demonstrated. So thank you again. Chris
Hi Chris,
Thatâs awesome!
Iâm so glad you found it helpful đ
Thanks for sharingđŽ
I'd once ridden in Australia but confused by local accent, I didn't learned at that class and let the horse wander around in the bushes with kangoloos. Now thanks to you, I finally learned my first riding horse class. You're a great teacher, I get it in 9 minutes.
I just convinced my parents to let me ride ! so this vid was very helpful.
thats amazing
Iâve been doing riding for the disabled for a long time now, but that was definitely a very informative video on how to ride properly
I always talk to my horse when grooming and tacking on, lunging, riding, doing a comp. I just like talking to him đ
Thank you JHhorsemanship this really helped me with my horse riding today is pony day at hirchwood and I'm just trying to get a head start
Hello Emma howâs the weather over there
Iâve wanted to ride a horse since I was 5 years old and I still havenât but Iâm just here to see the horses and when I live by myself to know how to ride
Thank you so much for this !! I'm fifteen years old and finally convinced my father to let me do horseback riding ! This video will definitely help me !
Haha, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you! Wishing us both luck
Thanks to you I convinced my parents to start horse riding lesson. Im only twelve, Im so excited thank you!
I don't even own a horse! But this tutorial somehow relaxes me while I watch it. This is Educational and lovely. Thank you for sharing though....
I just started two weeks ago and Iâm gonna have my third lesson in 3 days. Thank you for this. Subbed.
Hello Francis howâs the weather over there
Absolutely fantastic video! I started riding lessons a couple of days ago, and while there are some differences since my instructor is starting me with western riding, your videos have still helped me significantly. It's a rather unusual activity for someone like me to get into, but I really enjoy it a lot. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hiđ
Thank you for the kind words and support! Iâm so glad you are finding the videos helpful. I hope you continue to enjoy your horsemanship journey!đŽ
@@JSHorsemanship I've finished my second lesson today and am really enjoying it. My instructor says I'm doing really good, and I wish I could do it everyday! I think it'll be something fantastic to look forward to over this summer especially after those long marching band rehearsals!

How's riding a year later? I've been riding for 5/6 months as English and have been around the barn for longer. I love riding and am always at the barn whenever I can be!
I had no lessons. I just got on a horse and rode it. It was awesome. I rode for years. I miss it. So relaxing.
Very informative and smooth, I've just started learning horse riding at 27 and I'm happy with the new experience..thank you for being here đđ»
The woman is nice and explained really well she is a great teacher!

Very informative & helpful. Started riding at 62, had some lessons (not many good trainers here) and some nice places to ride. Thank you for posting!
Great video! Thanx!
Currently building my farm and going through training with a friend. Loved horses all my life and now managed to support my own farm. Its been quite a journey. Love your videos and hope to see more coming our way. keep well.!!
Their tails were dancing the whole time so cute!
An excellent segment. I haven't ridden in decades and have pretty much lost the knowledge I once had. Your information and descriptions are easy to understand. You have information I never learned. I can't wait to work with horses again!
Horses are true man's best friendâ€
Love the content of your videos as always. I've just started riding about 2 months ago, twice per week. I find that your videos are very informative . Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for the positivity and supportđ
I love this video so much! I have been riding for almost 12 years and you are definitely teaching the right way of riding keep it up! I love how you are not teaching any lazy methods of riding such as kiking, and whipping the horse to go, Start by gaining muscle!
Hlo dear I also want to learn it could you tell me what the initial steps to go somewhere and learn it beacuze I have no idea about this at all.
Thank you, lovely video to share with some of my RD group that due to confinement and lockdowns can not come to the stables .
Hello Lorraine howâs the weather over there
I just found your wonderful video and so grateful. I am 65 and always had a desire to learn all about riding and also the horse too. I'm very new and for myself need to fulfill my dream. I've always have had a deep passion for these beautiful animals.
Thank you so much for sharing. â€
Thank you for making this vid
Its very helpful cuz im planning on getting a horse next month!
Wow! But you have to know everything about horses and how expensive its to have a horse but happy times with you horse
Her profile pic is from Roblox but I do hope she got her horse by nowđ
@@panasonicoffical6514 its not roblox its star stable
@@panasonicoffical6514 bruuh, roblox? itâs star stable, Iâve been playing for 5 years :)
Steering making sense. I will try that closing the door analogy . Brilliant thank you
She actually got it backwards. When you want to turn left, you close your left leg on the horse, not the right. And vice versa.
@@Ironsmithfarm The two legs have totally different tasks. The inner leg (left) sends the inner hindleg more forward and transfers the weight to the outer hindleg of the horse so that the outer hindleg stays longer on the ground and the inner hindleg might step forward. This creates the bend. The outer leg of the rider limits the swing of the outer hindleg out of the bend. In other words: the outer leg guards (closes the door). The inner leg activates.
Now horse is a part of the equation. Horses learn. They can be taught to initiate the turn from a touch with the inner leg or the outer leg, or from either leg, getting the rest of the information from the seat of the rider. So there are infinitely many variations of how you can turn a horse. However, if you want the universal language, if you want to be as clear as possible to the horse and help him do what you want to do, you activate with your inner leg and guard with the outer leg, and you do it in a calm, supple, balanced fashion, feeling how much information this particular horse needs in order to produce a nice correct turn :)
I love your tutorials. They are so informative and formal.
I really enjoyed watching your session, very easy and smooth đ, thank you đ
I just got to ride my horse by myself alone in the country where I live witch is in the middle of nowhere on a old dirt road and I just got him 3 days ago and never rode him alone and It was fun oh and I'm only 12 years old
Wow thatâs amazing
Stop the cap
Pleasant easy to understand and follow, too many instructors unnecessarily over do the explanation and leave the student confused when it could have been so much better.
I love your videos, they are so peaceful and informative, thank you! I personally donât like bits but you are a prime example of using a bit correctly, itâs very nice to see đ
Thank you ! This is a great video outlining the basics. Just starting in riding, so will be referring to this and other videos alot.
Watching two beauties â€ïž
Explained perfectly đđŒ
This really helped me thanks :)
At least Iâm not the the only roblox youtuber that rides a horse! ( I know there is more people )
Iâve been riding for 4 years But I still like to watch these kind of videos đ
What a great tutorial, I love how gentle you are with the horses!
To the person reading this: Even though I donât know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer â€
I just want a horse to tell him "you alright boaaaaah".
Beautifully edited and explained!
This was beautifully explained! đâ€
I don't plan on riding any horses but this video is fantastic
Iâm not a beginner, this was just in my recommend đ
Iâm glad your heređŽđ
Clear concise instruction. Thank you.
Hello Krista howâs the weather over there
You helped me so much! There was this horse training camp that I got accepted into,watching this video made me learn how to ride a horse and eventually get a certificate! Thanks!
You say so mouch things!...I didnt knew it...in Equestrian schools they didnt say those, only ''Kick the horse'!!!'..without respect and only fear to this beautiful creature! Thank you!!!
yes the first three times I got on a horse they put me on and slapped the horses rear end .. it was disasterous for me and Im sure the horse didnt get much joy either .. so now we start at the beginning at age 54

It is actually difficult to teach. Teaching beginners on perfectly trained horses can be incredibly expensive since you can only have the perfectly responding horse for very few lessons in a week, so you would need to charge incredible amounts for a single lesson. So lesson horses give lessons all the time, and the instructor needs the poor lesson horse to move to whoever the given beginner is. So the instructor is forced to ask the student to kick the horse, even if his heart bleeds for the mount.
One of the best tutorials Iâve seen on any topic! Clear, concise, with a beautifully calming voice. Thank you for all the care and energy you put into this video. đ
