Places To Horseback Ride

Another place I recommend you is in el

Guaymaral, there are three courts. Two

are covered and the last one is not. One

court that’s covered is for jumping and the

other one is to do dressage. The last courtthat I saw is for jumping and its the one

that I like the most because it is

uncovered. The last court I recommend

you to go is in el Rancho. In el Rancho

there are five courts, and all of them are

very big. The four are, covered and areused to do jumping and dressage, and the

last one is uncovered and it is also used to

do bolting and dressage.

This is in la Pradera where the horses are.

This looks like a cool place to ride.

There are many places to ride horses

but the one I recommend you is in la

pradera. In la pradera there are four

courts, one is covered for jumping but

you could also do dressage. That court

is the one that most people like to do so

it is very crowded. The second court isa circular one that its used for bolting ,

but sometimes they teach little kids to

learn to ride there. The last courts is

uncovered and people use it to do

dressage and jumping.



A good place to ride should have the three

important activities which are jumping, dressage

and bolting. Also there should be teachers that

know a lot about at least one of these exercises on

horseback riding. For example in la pradera there

is three activities and good teachers that teach it.

Omar is the bolting teacher and the conductor of

the bolting team, he uses the horses Jimmy and

Paco which are the biggest school horses that la

pradera has.

Juan Banensuela is my teacher

and I think he is the best because

he is a champion and knows a lot

of good strategies and exercises.

Also he is very strict about

dressage and one thing that he

tells me, that I really like is that, jumping is dressage with

obstacles, and he teached me all

the things that I am writing on

this informational book, when

you are with him or at the level

he teach you normally start

buying your horse.

For experts or bigger kids there is a

teacher called Juan Benites which

teaches very advanced kids that jump

1,50 meters or more. All of his students

have a horse.



When I started to learngalloping I just thought that to

make your horse gallop you

should sit down kick and wait

until the horse understands that

you are asking him to gallop.

But now I realize that you don't

even have to kick to make yourhorse gallop.

To make your horsegallop you first short

the trot, sit down,

press with both legs

but the inner leg should go up a little

bit and press and

your outer leg

should stay where it

is and press. Last

you should turn the

horse a little bit to

the side where you

are going and the

horse should

gallop.This look easy

to do but is takes

practice. A rider that is in the right position doing the

right things to gallop.

Galloping



To know when your horse is

galloping right you look at

the start of the leg of thehorse and the inner leg

should move faster than the

outer leg. If the outer leg is

going faster than the inner

leg you should put yourhorse to trot and try again.

When you gallop you should

press with your legs, and sit

down and it will be more

comfortable.

This man is doing a very bad job

because he is standing up and

leaning forward, he is doing the

jumping position not even well done.

You know when your

horse is tired because

he is sweating and hedoesn't want to speed

up. You can't only gallop

all your class because

your horse will startstopping and can get

sick.

As you can

see this

horse is

sweeting

well that is

because he

is tired

and heshould

rest.



The parallel is one type of jump.

JumpingThere are many types of jumps. For

example the parallel. The parallel is more

than one (depending on how tall is the

jump) bars on the same row. Another jumpis la cruceta. That is two bars crossed and

the horse should pass in the middle of the

bars. The last type of jump that I know is the

oxer which is two parallels super close by.

The horse should pass both bars in one jump. To jump you dont have to go very

fast, in fact, you can jump while you trot.The position before you jump or going to

do the jump is,

1. Put your back, back2. Look far away

3. Press with your legs

4. Move your horse to the middle of the

jump

5. Keep your inner and outer hand firmand still on top of the horses neck.

When you are in the jump, you,

1. Stand up a little bit.

2. Put your body forward.

3. Put your hands on the horsesneck.

4. Press with your legs.

5. Still look faraway.

After the jump you1. Sit down,2. Sitback

3. Continue In Italy first they

discovered to jump you

had to lean back. Later

they discovered they

could lean in front but

the exaggerated a lot

when they leaned

forward. Lastly they

invented that you canlean a little bit and go

with the horse.

As you can see this boy is exaggerating when he

jumps.



In this moment it

would be a good

idea to cuddle your

horse if he did a good job. When your

horse does a very

good job in your

class the best price

for him is to let him

rest.

Alberto Larraguibel and his horse Huaso

made the record by jumping 2.47 meters. It is

said that the first time he tried the horse

didn't jump, the second time the horse did

jump but with his back leg he knocked down abar and the third and last time he did it and

made the record that has never been beaten

since the time he did it. The horse after they

beat the record continued but broke all his

muscles.

Horseback riding can befun but it can also be a

dangerous sport, but if you

use the right equipment

you can be protected if

something happens. First

the helmet that is the first

thing you should put on forsafety. The helmet helps

because if you fall down of

your horse and the horse

steps on your head and youdon't have a helmet, you

would die, and also if you

fall on your head and don't

have a helmet, you can also

die.

This man fell of his horse

pretty bad and if he wouldn't had a helmet he

would of died.

The helmet GPA. I

recommend you to

use it in case you fall.

Equipment



Another very important safety

equipment is the vest. The vest

covers your chest and your

back. It is important because

your ribs and your spine are themost important part to be

protected and also your head. If

you are riding and you fall and

the horse steps on your back or

on your chest and you don'thave a vest, your spine or ribs

might break and you won't be

able to move specially if your

spine breaks.The vest.

The correct uniform to horseback ride.

The clothes you should use

is britches for pants and I

use a polo shirt tucked in.

Lastly the boots, the socks

that you use should be long

that covers all the part the

boot touches that is so the

britches don't get dirty and

nothing gets into them.



When you buy your horse it means you

are ready. Ready to take a big

responsibility because you can't say I

want this horse and one month later say

that I don't want it, actually to change

the horse you would have to move to a

higher level and the horse that you havedoesn't work for you, so it takes a big

responsibility and also you have to be a

good horseback rider because when you

go to a tournament in another city your

parents might not bring your horse so you have to be a good horseback rider so

you can use any horse they give you.

This is the horse of my

friend and she is a very good rider and she has a

big responsibility with

this horse. She also test

this horse but this isn't a perfect horse but the

horse teaches my friend.

Buying Your Horse



To buy your horse you need to test a

horse that is on sale and if you like it

and it is useful for you, you can buy

it. You know when the horse you testis for you because:

1.He should be calm.

2. You should feel comfortable.

3. It is not heavy for you.

4. He doesn't have any problems in

his legs or something.

5. You can ask him to transition

easily.

6. His galloping is comfortable and

it is easy for you to make him gallop.

7. It is useful for your level.

They look like they love their horse.



This horse or any horse

can't be perfect and the

horses that have

something's to work on

are the horses that

teach you.

The good horses are

very very expensiveespecially the high

jumping horses because

they have to be fine.

Dressage horses are

very expensive too.

Sometimes your horse has some

of these things, but some horses

are missing one or two so you

have to practice with them so the

horse can do it. I don't think thereis a horse that is perfect and has

all of these, that you would sit

down and the horse would gallop

and you didn't do anything and if

you had a perfect horse it would be bad, because you won´t be a

good rider if the horse does

everything to you and if

something happens you won't be

able to ride it out.



Fun Facts About Horses

1. Bolting: Is a class where you work

your balance by doing tricks ontop of

your horse. This tricks can be made

walking, trotting or galloping.

2. Dressage: Where you demonstrate

that you can control your horse and that

the transitions are made whenever you

want and that you do the correct thingsto make the transition happen.

3. Jumping: It is dressage with obstacles

you have to ride through with your horse

without knocking any bars to the

ground.

4. Oxer: Two parallels close by. The

horse should pass both bars in one jump.

5. Parallel: More than one bar on the

same row. The bottom bar is so the horse

doesn't see if the jump is very tall.

6. Cruceta: Two bars that are crossed.The horse should pass it through the

middle.

7. Inner Leg: The leg that points to the

inside of the court.

8. Outer Leg: The leg that points to the
