    Just had my first lesson on Sunday and loved it. It has ALWAYS been my childhood dream to ride horses and care for them. However, I'm 65 going on 66 on March 25th. But with the will of the Lord Almighty, He will provide a way to learn the necessary skills I need. Love your tutorial and subscribed to your channel. God bless. In my first riding lesson kept holding the reigns kinda long and the excess reigns on my hands kept twisting. Another was the how to start the trot, that the rider has to stand up on /raise yourself up onto the stirrups and sit back on the saddle . Please advise I 'M A BEGINNER DON'T KNOW THE CONCEPT. I don't know how to drive but at least achieve this life long goal through God's Grace. Thank you and take.

    I admire your faith. My dream is to ride horses aswell, but with a previous back surgery and the lack of money I don't think I will any time soon. I am only a teenager, so anything could happen between now and the future, but people like you remind me that horse riding is for any age, so thank you :) God bless.

I’ve been a sailing instructor, and have studied teaching too, so I know how to break things down to teach beginners and the riding school I went to at first did nothing of the sort, just plonked me on the oldest, most sleepy horse and just keep telling me I was doing it wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you, thank you, thank you for your channel 🙏🏼🤗🤩 I’m already feeling far more confident about it all and am excited rather than anxious ☺️

This video really helped me understand the basics of riding a horse in simple terms and helped me loose my fear of riding almost completely. I was worried about lack of control, but this seems simpler than I've been led to believe it is. I'm not saying horsemanship is easy by any means, but when the basics are taught in this way it really makes a difference.

    This is so nice, my father had horses and tried to teach me how to ride or I was useless or I wasn't fast enough to learn and he give up on me so, he was like that, you had to learn things at the first try, anyways I always wanted to learn because I never could do it fully. Greetings from Spain.

    I always wanted to know that. Clear and concise presentation. If you're not an instructor you should be.
