Comment on where can i get horse riding lessons? by ?

If you want inexpensive or free horseback riding lessons, I would suggest that you visit several riding barns in your area and see if the owner needs help mucking stalls or cleaning tack that she/he would give you riding lessons in exchange for your services. Our daughter did this for YEARS and has become a VERY accomplished rider, to the point of now being asked to train and exercise some of the younger horses. You will need to get your parents involved, because many young people are taken advantage of in this industry.

Comment on What is the basic horse care? by Micaiah

Wow, where to start…

Well daily care is food, water, supplements (although supplements are not needed I do recommend them) a shelter (even if your horse lives out in a field it should still have shelter) and grooming (not bathing but at least brushing them off and picking their hooves)!

Monthly to yearly care is farrier (every six weeks), vaccinations (every six months to every year depending on if your horse spends a lot of time with other horses), teeth floating (every six months to every year depending on your horses age), deworming (every two months) and a coggins test (every year)!

That is about it… Good luck with your Zoolgy project! I find horses super fun to learn about I hope you find it fun too

Wow pretty big question.

Well DAILY basic care is feed, water, shelter, and grooming.

Monthly care or Bi-monthly: is worming (unless you us a daily feed through) and ferrier.

yearly care would include: coggins test, floating, vaccines. (some should be given twice a year especially if you show)

There are many books out there fo general first time owners. Lessons are always good but not a necessity. You could also try New Horizons Equine Education Center. They have courses that will teach you a lot of basic stuff.

Sorry but I think your phone book or on line search would be the best source of information.

Where do you live? There are places all over the U.S,but I am sure you don't want to drive 3+ hours to a barn.

Comment on what are some horse back riding games i could use in a lesson? by parelli grl

this will help them keep their heels down and improve their balance :
(though it might not work as well if they ride western)
first of all the stirrups have to be fairly short so that they can stand up in them.
have them ride the horse/s walk
1 stand up in you stirrups (so you are out of the saddle) with you legs totally strait
2 then let your heels sink down as low as you can
3 hold this position as long as you can while your horse walks
to make it fun you can make it a game between the 2 of them by seeing who can do it the longest

Far too much for me to type- take some riding lessons and lease a horse to learn this before buying a horse… if you don’t want to take lessons before buying, then you don’t want a horse enough.
