(F.I.Y Stegersbach is a city in Austria) During the month of March, my father found us a house farm near our house. After visiting the horse farm, my father agreed to sign my brother and I for a few horse lessons for beginners, now I know how to ride a horse by myself! During the First Lesson, I learned how to clean a pony’s fur as it had fur that was shedding after winter. To clean the pony we needed some brushes and we had to scrub the horse fur with a bit of strength.

After my we cleaned the pony, my sister got to ride the pony! While my sister was riding the pony my brother and I were choosing our horse riding equipment. Before riding the horse, our instructor thought us how to put on the equipment. To get on the horse, the instructor helped us by giving a boost.

My instructor then clipped a sash to my horse so that he could control the movement of the horse as he didn’t want the horse to gallop away. For the starting, he thought us how to sit on the horse( the posture) then he thought us how to throttle when the horse is galloping. Throttling is like standing up and then sitting slowly so that the horse does not feel any pain when you sit down. There is always a problem with me and horses as when i ride a horse, after a while it stops so that it can poop or pee! If only there was a solution for this!

On our third lesson(I skipped the second lesson because it was the same as the first one), we had to go a sit on the horse and make sure that we were turned around so that we could only see the butt of the horse! After doing that, we turned around and the trainer thought us how to steer a horse and also how to ride it by ourselves. What I remember is, if you pull the left side of the rein with a bit of force, the horse will go towards the left and if you pull the rein towards the right, it will go towards the left. after a bit of practice my trainer let us ride it by ourselves.

At first I was feeling very scared but later on I was feeling a lot better!
