• Taking a horse riding trip for the first time can
  take courage. Getting on a huge animal can be
  intimidating to those who arent used to being
  around them. However, these animals are harmless
  and horseback riding is safe when following
  instructions. One surprising fact is that Salt
  Lake City is one of the best places for a
  beginners horse riding trip. Visitors or
  residents are able to horseback ride anytime of
  the year, even in the colder winter months.
  Whether a person is taking a horse riding trip on
  vacation or wanting to start a new hobby, there
  are a few tips a rider should take to feel
  confident on the horse.

• The first tip is to ensure the rider is wearing
  the proper attire for safety and comfortability.
  Horse riding trips are best when wearing jeans,
  boots and of course, a helmet. Any horse riding
  facility in Salt Lake City will have helmets that
  riders can borrow. The stables will also have the
  right saddle and other gear needed for the ride.

• The next tip when going for a horse riding trip
  is to make sure the rider is relaxed as can be
  and has the proper posture. The right posture is
  sitting up straight, keeping ears, shoulders, and
  heels aligned. This might seem harder than it is,
  but once on a horse this will feel most
  comfortable and easy. Proper posture is important
  because it will make the horse feel the rider's
  relaxation and will result in the horse being
  relaxed themselves.

The third tip is to remain calm while staying
confident both on and off the horse. Horses are
amazing animals that have the ability to sense if
a rider is not confident and they will want to
take control. Remaining confident does not mean
pulling the horse around everywhere, but means
that the rider is confident to make the horse
move with minimal effort.

The last tip for beginner riders is to take
things slowly at first to really get comfortable
with riding the horse. Beginner riders are
advised to just walk their first horse riding
trip which is still enjoyable. It is best to
learn the motions at a much slower pace for
safety of the rider and horse.
