There are a lot of sports now which involves different kinds of animals. One of which is the horse back riding. Although this is really a very fun to watch sport, there are things that are highly needed before you can get into it. For girls, pikeur jacket is very much needed to observe proper attire. And of course, one of the most obvious and a major needed would be your own horse.
To be able to get into it, you need to know how to take care of the horses as well. Just like you, they need someone who will be looking after them from time to time. Just like you, they need companion. You actually do not have to stay with them inside their stalls, as long as you visit them regularly, then that would be good.
Before going out for a bond, check the condition of the animal. First, check his top part and see if there is anything that needs immediate attention. You need to do the same all the way down to the very last part of him. If ever you see something unusual, be sure that you attend to them immediately as it may result to something worse.
If you find nothing wrong with him, you can already start grooming him. Use both hard brush and soft one for the mane and tail. Use the hard one first followed by the second. This is to help maintain the smooth look of it. Gently do everything to avoid hurting the animal.
Now comes the bridle and the saddle. Get your tack then put the saddle on its back. The reins must then be put at the head of it then place the bins inside his mouth. Usually, horses toss their head up, that is why you need to have someone taller to do it for you.
Check the girth again. Horses like to puff their chest when you put the girth on. Check if the puffing affects how you placed it so you will be able to properly place it in case it has been changed. You also have to roll the stirrups down. Each one needs to be as long as your arms.
Keep your animal in shape by exercising. You can take a ride on him for as long as you want but make sure that you go down every now and then so he will not get sores. If you want to ride for at least 2 hours, you also need to give them time to drink and take a break.
Note that giving them too much liquid will make them sick. Hose them off if they are wet and make sure that the temperature reaches above 52 degrees Fahrenheit. To take off excess water, only use a sweat scraper. Most horses are actually afraid of the hose, in that case, you may use a wet sponge instead.
Always clean their stalls. Animals also hate living in a dirty area. Make sure that you clean it every now and then. Never have it wait for too long as it can result to a really bad smell, thus, making it more difficult for you to clean it. Also, give them just enough water in a clean bucket everyday.
