My Horse and I on Cloud 9

      

Passion for horses  

 My horse Ciado and I Summer 2013 all tacked up with love

There’s no greater feeling than riding a horse. Don’t you think! Each drum like stride pounding against the ground creating a beat to the riders heart and music to the ears. The passion for such majestic animals and love that they share with us is sensational. As they “To ride a horse is to ride the sky”, they give you wings that you always wished for to fly and in riding them we borrow freedom. It is almost indescribable the magnificent feeling of bonding with a horse, it’s like you share one soul when being a team with your horse.   

Basic knowledge for beginners

Having a horse is a great responsibility, they require a lot of your time, care, and attention . Not only do they have to be ridden and taken out daily but they also need to be tacked up well and nice for both their safety and the riders safety. As we all know there is a certain uniform to wear when riding for equestrians and there are also a wide variety of horse tack. The basic things that each rider needs to have on while riding are:

•          Breaches/Jodhpurs
•         Boots
•         Helmet

These are the important basic elements each rider has. Let’s not forget our horses now! They too need to be ready. The basic and mandatory tack for all horses are:

•          Saddles
•         Bridles
•         Saddle pad
•         Front and back boots

Some of my favorites sites that I shop from online for both my horse and I are Equiline and Tailored Equestrian. You can contact me by email  for any questions or leave a comment. Have a nice day and remember to take good care of your horses.
