So friend this new post that i've been waiting for long time to post but from some obvious reason ""being Lazy"" i coudnt get time to write, but finally wait is over. So as you all dont know that i'm doing horse riding from 10th june and as my riding getting better and better so i decided that now this is the time that i should write something about HORSE RIDING and about HORSES. This will be all what i've learnt so far from riding.
So first day my trainer told me about some basic rules, regulations and some terminologies such as
1. Never go back side of the Horse otherwise everybody knows what they(Horse) can do with their legs
2. Then he told me about basic terminology what Horse tack is? It is all the gear that comes with owning a horse. The saddle, bit, saddle pads, lead ropes, halters, whips, steps, horse boots, and most other horse things they all are called tack.
3. How to mount and dismount from the Horse but before that you should pat on the Horses' neck and on his head.
4. After that he told me how to hold the lead ropes, halters and how to put your toes into steps and how to put your all weight on the toes.
5. Then he told me about three basic run of the Horses that how they walk and how they run.
again terminologies interesting
a. normal one is like you are not jumping with the walk and run of the horse and not maintaining rhythm with horse walk(believe me it hurts you, first week of my riding was fantastic, somebody should've asked How is your THIGHS it was like gimme some Rest).
b. after catching rhythm with the horse walk then comes TROT when you are perfectly jumping with the walk of the horse.
c. third one is CANTER that is slow gallop or you can say slow running of the horse and it differs from the trot only in one manner and that is speed of jumping(so far you've become perfect in controlling the horse also), and in long run, in plain fields this CANTER becomes GALLOP(fast running of the Horse as all of you have watched in the Movies so far.)
6. Then after dismounting from the horse you should give SHABASHI or a warm pat on the horse neck and if you can arrange some sweet like GUDD or anything else it'll be better for making a good interaction between you and the horse.
7. How to put rope or rass into your hands and distance between palms should be around 5 to 7 inches and most important thing your hands shouldn't move with your jumping, otherwise controlling of horse becomes difficult.
After these rules and conditions i started my riding and first day was normal as i walked with horse, patted him, mounted and dismounted from the horse, and after sometime i did horse riding actually it was walking.
Somehow two days passed and after three four days i could manage myself with the jumping and rythm of the horse, then from next day they gave me special breed of horse it was TW breed specially for the military purpose. As my trainer was from the 61st battalion so many time he used to tell about his experience with the horses, horse riding and all, that conversation made my horse riding interesting. So the TW breed, horses from this breed are specailly trained into military and believe me that horse was really good in everything controlling, riding, walk, trot and moreover you've to be extra cautious while riding that horse.
So after two and half weeks around i did my first CANTER and it was really special ride, i could feel the thrill of horse riding and i was wondering how would it feel when i'll do Gallop, from that day i started giving more efforts to learn horse riding.
So far i've not done GALLOPING but i am looking for that opportunity in future. Hope for best.
So friends from this last sentence " I love Horse riding" i sign off.
Happy reading.
See ya all very soon.
