Hi! My name is Elsie, student at Promenade Stables. I am a horse fanatic and animal lover. If you are just starting to ride, I am the person to help you. There are two categories of bits: snaffle and curb. The other things are that there are two simple types of main saddles that I use: Western and English. The most important fact is…the four gaits that any horse can do are walk, trot, canter and gallop. If you want to ride rein less, don’t be scared. The first phase for anything is look where you’re going, bump or give a quick noise like a click or a kiss. Look,bump,kiss. If you are doing a small jump, go up in a 2 point, or stand and lean in the saddle. You do this because it puts less weight on the horse’s back when their hooves go off the ground. If the jump is raised more than three feet, you must go into the 2 point. When cantering, don’t bob your chin. It feels like you’re on a swing, so, so rock back and forth, with the horse’s beat, scoop, swing,..
