English Warmup: Free Horseback Riding Lessons

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Sarah Stetner. I'm an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village. In this video, I am just showing you the correct beginner style to ride English. So the first thing you want to do is make sure that your reins are not twisted. If they are, just go ahead and untwist them. I am going to go ahead and get him to walk here. This is my horse Rowdy, by the way. So we are walking around English. I am going to warm him up and ask him to trot, warm the horse up and warm me up; it is very important. So I just give him his head and ask him to long trot for me. I kind of stretch out my own arms as well, so I am just warming up the horse. I will be going the opposite direction as well, so this is how I will warm up my horse."
