HOW TO RIDE A HORSE WESTERN (BEGINNERS TRAIL RIDING GUIDE)

[@janetmaruhashi3353]

When dismounting, stepping out of the stirrup onto to the ground can be extremely dangerous - foot can get caught, horse can move etc. After bringing right leg over, lean over the saddle, release left foot from stirrup then, holding horn and back of saddle slide off the horse.

[@ThatsEvelynn]

Thank you! I was riding with a western saddle yesterday and i was struggling to get my left foot out thank you for this tip i will use it for my ride today

[@finngamesknudson1457]

As an unfit, overweight, older rider I find that standing after dismount is difficult. After a couple hours in the saddle my hips just don’t want to go to the correct angle to stand and simply balancing is uncomfortable. Only takes a moment to stretch and regain balance - but it’s a bit like getting off a boat after a long voyage.

@@ThatsEvelynn i dropped out riding lessons last year i didn't like it anymore because i had to ride with a bit im out i quit

[@hkbarrelracing]

i wouldn't slide off (touching the saddle) while sliding down. i would kinda push yourself off when getting down because your clothes can get caught in some part of the safdle

[@janetmaruhashi3353]

@@hkbarrelracing Yes, that's true, it is definitely advisable to push oneself away from the saddle, I have ruined a few favorite jackets over many years!

[@dumwyteguy]

Its crazy to me how horses even trust humans in the first place. Great and informative video

[@dudeyfeb88coach]

I trust certain humans more !

We are going on a family holiday from the UK to California to do some trail riding. The riding style is so different from what I'm used to! The reins are so slack and your stirrups are so long. I think I'm going to have to just relax in the saddle and leave my jodhpurs at home 😆 Thank you for the lovely video. It looks beautiful there x

[@lmnolan6870]

You're going to love it. Definitely leave the jodhpurs at home! I'm currently learning English before buying my first horse in the UK after 25 years of western riding in Canada! I find English much more difficult and complicated than western.

[@be-kc9cf]

The stirrups do a notch higher

[@MrBone777]

Great info if you’re starting out I would totally recommend this to new riders.

[@AlexaShivers]

I really enjoyed watching this video! When your riding out slow you can learn to react quicker. I've been taking lessons for over a year now, and its been a great learning experience.

[@DariaHarruff]

@@AlexaShivers I'm not willing to accept it anymore but I had to make others happy by being forced to ride a horse for lessons it's done that ship had sailed

[@Radi0activeBen]

Haven't ridden in years and plan to this weekend. This was a great refresher.

[@AdgTee21]

Me too! Nervous!!

[@DariaHarruff]

@@Radi0activeBen you can ride horse it's not my thing I hate it

[@buebecutlen8963]

I am going for a vacation for 2 weeks and i haven't rode since age 10, 30 and 35 and now i'm terrified to do that because my woman wants to ride and i don't. I think i don't have it in me anymore. I think to me is best to connect with the horse when we arrive to the location. Greetings from Finland. Great video!

[@ajramirez2]

Grew up on a Farm, miss it dearly. Thanks for the update on the knowledge. Always good to prepare in advance. Hope to be riding here soon

[@cinxa]

Thank you snow bunny for sharing this

[@tamagage2206]

What awesome video thank you

[@ranchesatbeltcreek6231]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Shepherd1234]

That was very clear and informative. Nice video :) Maybe getting off the horse can be easier where instead of keeping the left foot in it, we hold onto both hands and the stomach on the saddle to be able to remove the left foot and then let ourselves slide slowly to the ground. But maybe it's not how it is supposed to be done. I have no idea about Western horse riding and I am all the way from France :)

[@brianallen35]

Great info that was exactly what I was looking for.

[@IsabellaArellano-e7t]

This video is really helpful

[@saurabhmukh1]

Very well structured and informational video....where is this barn? It's beautiful out there

[@massgrower7105]

i lovvvve the look of that horse with the white sickle mark on it on its face sooo beautiful

Nice video. Thank you for posting it!

[@Horsin-around]

I like to ride western, but everyone thinks that I ride better English. Is there anything that i can do to ride more western?

[@ranchesatbeltcreek6231]

I personally ride English as well, so with western I just ride more relaxed and slouch a bit instead of riding more forward

[@Horsin-around]

@@ranchesatbeltcreek6231 😊 thanks

[@rayalley7716]

Keep practicing. Keep riding. Hopefully, you have a trainer that is supportive & helps you get to your goals. Don't get discouraged. Just keep riding and practicing.

[@Horsin-around]

@@rayalley7716 thank you! I think I am getting better at western. I have learned that I ride better with one hand than two.

[@mythal0620]

Great info, thanks a lot!

[@codynoordzy3824]

Anyone know good barn where my wife and I can get some rides? We've both ridden before but it's been since my childhood since I rode. Wife used to help break horses. I'm in West Branch, mi

[@jokoprihanto9642]

This absolutely helpfull

[@duckyman1755]

Are horses trained to move like that or is it just natural

[@PatheticWetCat1]

Most are trained, but I know a lot do it by instinct

[@kaydeabplanalp7072]

I have to know. The little short dog, looks almost exactly like my dog. What’s the breed? Mine is a corgi/French bulldog

"It can be hard to get a horse to turn when standing still" Me: -every time I ride my horse before I start I turn my horse when he is standing still- (No hate or anything I am just kinda confused)

[@pittielover8949]

Great video! Thanks! I usually ride English, but learning Western. Def will take a lot of these tips!

[@neinsager3236]

Please tell what's easier and more comfortable to learn?

@@neinsager3236western saddles are more secure and does a better job of holding you in. I recommend that beginners ride western to start.

How does a guy stop from sitting on his nuts? Went on a horse once, went up and down and landed on my nuts. I instantly dove off the horse, never to try again.

In many countries horses are just used for exploitation and are treated as slaves who may show signs of abuse, malnutrition and old scars. Please look out for these bullied gentle beings who may be silently suffering and Refuse to ride on them. God has mercy on those who show mercy on animals.

How do you ride like a pro. Take lessons from a pro.

Cowboy guy. You seem nice. Stick around, as long as you aren't married. Just because I don't get the jealousy gene, doesn't mean I cheat or like cheaters. Now that's cleared up. Heza Cat, eh? Royalty. I'm honored.
