horse riding skills

Horse riding skills involve coordinating your body movements with the horse’s responses to maintain balance, control, and communication. This includes proper posture, gentle use of hands and legs to give cues, and awareness of the horse’s behavior. Good riders read the horse’s signals, adjust their techniques accordingly, and develop a partnership built on trust. Skills also involve understanding riding aids, managing speed, steering accurately, and maintaining safety for both rider and horse. With practice, riders become more intuitive, confident, and capable of handling various terrains and riding styles.
