The horse has been used in warfare since as early as 4000 BCE. There is archaeological evidence in the steppes of Eurasia of fortified towns being built to defend against horse-riding bandits and raiders. In 1350 BCE, the Hittite tribe developed a written manual for successfully breeding and conditioning chariot horses. Thus, since before written history and throughout the recorded development of mankind, horses have been a powerful ally to victorious armies and successful agriculturalists. In Medieval Europe, the heavy armor of mounted knights required a new style of horses, strong like a draft horse but athletic like lighter breeds. The destrier, and lesser so the courser and rouncey, became the type (not breed) of horse that would fetch the highest price among nobles and elite military officers.
In this free horse riding video, professional trainer and riding instructor Mara Keith-Hunter teaches you about riding in different gaits, transitioning, and collecting or lengthening strides. Mara covers the walk, trot, canter, and gallop, explaining the beat of each gait and how to lead your horse through it. You will learn transitioning to a canter from a walk and back, skipping the trot, and how to use your hands and weight to keep the horse from getting confused.
