Download or read book How to Start a Horse written by Keith Hosman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepping your horse for a first ride requires plenty of ground work. Here are your step-by-step instructions.This book provides simple and objective training for the unbroke horse, from 1st-time bridling and saddling to sacking out, bridle work from the ground, pre-mount work, and your (necessarily short) first ride. You'll learn the proven methods of John Lyons, tips to keep you safer, and tricks to save time. Today's the day to get started putting a proper foundation on your horse, a solid start that'll pay big dividends for the rest of his life.* If you began your training in the round pen, this book outlines the next steps* If you haven't round penned your horse, you can still begin with this book BUT round penning beforehand is highly recommended.We'll get you into the saddle for a first ride -- and finish up with a chapter designed to prep you the rider/trainer, for all future rides, demonstrating specifically how to use your reins for quicker, easier results with horses of all ages. A good 90 percent of the issues I see at a typical riding clinic could have been prevented if the rider knew a few simple rules about how to hold (and release!) those reins. Developing a "good feel" for when and how to pick up and drop those reins will make training easier at all stages of your horse's life -- especially when astride a young, nervous colt when clear communication is most paramount.Finally, pinned to the tail of this book, you'll find "Cinchy Horses." Should you find yourself training a youngster who's especially goosey at the tightening of the cinch, you'll want this "what to do" fix.Only you can judge whether your colt or filly is ready for this material:Though not a mandatory prerequisite, round penning your horse (using the methods of John Lyons) is the smart thing to do before completing the material in this book. Ideally, your horse is now relaxed around you, leads well, has been taught to turn away from you as well as to face you (consistently keeping two eyes on you), and is wholly desensitized to your hand and various objects. At an absolute minimum, your horse must remain calm and willing in most circumstances when being worked with (today), is thoroughly "used to" being handled, and you must have the ability to turn the horse toward you as well as away. You must be able to lead your horse, he isn't head shy, and you can handle his entire body, ears, and all four feet. If not, check out the prerequisite work found in my book "Round Pen: First Steps to Starting a Horse."This book is broken down into five "Days" or sessions, each designed for you to take at a pace you set:* Day One: First-time bridling* Day Two: Bridle work from the ground (hip and shoulder control)* Day Three: Sacking out and first saddling* Day Four: Pre-mount work up* Day Five: First RidePlus:* "The Reins: 5 Tips to Improve Your Use"* "Cinchy Horses"What this book does not cover: It's loaded with early-stages training for the green horse - but it does not cover elementary sacking out (again, see my book "Round Penning: First Steps to Starting a Horse"), nor does it offer training beyond the first few weeks after first saddling up. It teaches you hip and shoulder control from the ground, how to bridle and saddle up for the first time and what you need to do to take the first ride - which will necessarily be a short one. It gives you pointers as to how you should further your training (beyond the parameters of this book) but it does not cover "riding training" (turning, stopping, speed control, etc.) beyond lessons recommended for your first dozen or so "rides."If you're going to be the first person to sit on your colt, don't you want to do everything possible to assure success? Use the Lyons methods...

"It is extremely helpful and fills in a lot of holes - big holes. It is one of the best books that I have read." "It is fabulous! Even better than you say! The girls and I had beginning riding lessons which were invaluable. But, there are things in this Beginner's Guide that we never learned in our lessons." I can only assume that you are serious about horseback riding and want to start out the right way. You'll hear me throughout this book talk about SAFETY, SAFETY, and SAFETY! You can never be too safe while being around these huge animals! We'll discuss the safety issue in depth at different points in the book. I know you must have lots of questions - that's why have I prepared this book: To help anyone of any age to learn all the basics about horseback riding prior to getting on a horse for the first time. There are many things you need to understand before mounting and riding for the first time. This book will take you item by item through all of these critical concepts to help you understand how a horse thinks, how he's made, his physical characteristics, etc. You will also have to prepare yourself both physically and mentally. Riding horses is like no other sport - you see, if you play golf, tennis, swim, jog, play football or basketball, lift weights.... whatever it is (except for some team interaction) how well you do in that sport is pretty much determined by what YOU can do physically. How much speed, strength, finesse, coordination, etc. you can develop determines how well you'll do. But, when riding, you now have a partner-the horse-who, unlike a tennis racquet or golf club-has a mind of his own. Success depends on you working together as a team. Plus, your physical build and shape will also determine how well your horse can perform. Together you are a team and you can help each other out by being physically fit. Horseback riding also helps you develop specific muscle groups that are not worked regularly in other sports In the horse world, your success is determined by how well you can control, understand and harmonize with a 1,000-pound animal that has superior strength, is faster and has a better-developed nervous system than you. The way you overcome these strengths in a horse is to understand what the horse's limitations are. Understanding the horse's body, what makes him tick and how the horse's brain works is the key to controlling him. If you don't figure this out and understand the horse then you'll constantly be fighting him and your experience will go sour.

Download or read book The Rider s Guide to Real Collection written by Stacy Pigott and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Western and English riding. Everyone wants it, but few people know how to get it. World-class rider, trainer, and clinician Lynn Palm now offers the one and only book that explains away the mysteries of collection while telling you exactly how to attain it. With 40 years experience riding and training champion all-around performance horses, and a background in dressage, Lynn has perfected an easy-to-use system of exercises that gradually collect any type of horse, regardless of his build, and that are of particular value to stock horse breeds such as Quarter Horses, Paints, and Appaloosas. Lynn begins on the ground with in-hand exercises—free lungeing, ground-driving, and lungeing-and-bitting—to gain the horse's trust and improve his responses to cues and commands. She then explains how you start in the saddle with simple transitions—such as halt-walk-halt—and gradually progress through stages that include more difficult transitions between gaits and markers; lengthening and shortening of stride; yielding on diagonal, straight, and curving lines; turns on the forehand and haunches; shoulder-in and shoulder-fore; haunches-in and haunches-out; half-pass; and simple and flying lead changes. Learning how to bring your horse into true collection helps you improve his performance; create a more willing equine partner; extend his physical and mental longevity; and enjoy riding him even more than you already do.
