Tips when riding bareback PDF Print E-mail

  • Never clench your calves to keep balance on your horse, you may only tense up and encourage your horse to go faster.
  • If you need to, hold the mane, but don’t lean on your hands. The point of bareback riding is to improve your balance. If you’re leaning you’ll never learn.
  • Make sure you’re looking ahead, and try to adapt as close to a normal seat as possible, heels down still applies !
  • Trotting and cantering will be the true test of balance, make sure you relax into each gait gently, give yourself time to adjust.
  • Take time to feel the horse move underneath you. Practise your aids and see just how long it takes your horse to respond.
