Trail Riding
Riding Lessons And Trail Rides
She reached up to tuck her long, blond hair back under the cowboy hat as she stood in the windy ring. She stared down at the layer of dust on her brown boots. She wanted new black boots with gold inlaid patterns. She smiled as she contemplated how great they would look. But, alas, she could only afford the less costly brand.
At the gate were Eric and his mother. He couldn’t wait for his riding lesson to start. He walked over to her and she put the horse’s reins over his head. She walked to the left side of the horse with little Eric. He listened to every word she said as she helped him mount up. They proceeded to walk around the ring.
Eric’s mother watched from the gate. The blond turned and waved hello. Then she gave Eric her full attention for the next half hour. He learned to hold the reins in his left hand. She taught him how to neck rein and turn the horse using the reins. He tried it several times before he felt confident.
His mom recalled the first day she had brought Eric to the riding academy for lessons. They chatted amicably as Eric watched the horses. She mentioned she also had an interest in horses. She thought bouncing around on the back of the horse was how to lose tummy fat. The instructor said the mom didn’t look overweight at all.
They scheduled a series of six riding lessons for Eric and signed for the credit card. They planned on riding the bridle paths together after the lessons were over. They could then go out on the bridle paths where you could ride unconfined by fences. There was a one hour or two hour trail ride.
They chatted about the rest area in the middle of the trail ride. Everyone would get off their horse and sit down in the grass for a few minutes. She usually cantered the horses into the rest stop. Eric could not run away since livery horses automatically stopped when they entered the rest area.
They would dismount and sit on the grass for a few minutes while letting the horses graze. Everyone pulled the reins over the horses’ heads and kept holding on until it was time to mount up again. It was a pleasant time with everyone chatting about what fun they were having.
Six weeks later, Eric had successfully completed six lessons. He now could mount up by himself. He knew how to manipulate the reins to turn the gentle little pinto. He could move the reins as a signal to go and pull back saying whoa as a signal to stop. He loved riding and his confidence was high. Next week they would hit the trail and see if this was how to reduce tummy fat.
