riding

 There are lots of different types of horse riding, there is show jumping cross country dressage and lots more.


If you like more of a thrill you should do something like cross country or barrel racing or racing . In cross country you jump over big logs and canter around you jump things with stuff on top you jump over solid jump water jumps you might have to jump over ditches go through the forest. In racing you go to a race cors you get lined up. You will hear the noise of the metal doors opening and the horse’s start galloping people can bet on the horses for money there is jumping incouled some people. Barrel racing is a type of western riding when you go as fast as you can around three barrels in the right pattern and if you knock over a barrel you get disqualified. 

But you have to be careful because your horse can refuse a jump or not do what it’s told and you can come off.



Bits of tack you have your saddle, saddle pads, bridle. 

But before you tack up you need to groom your horse to groom your horse you need to have a hard brush, soft brush, hoof pick, curry comb.

After you groom your horse you put saddle pads on then saddle and then take off your halter. And put the bridle on.


For beginner riders you will start by walking around trying to stay balanced in the saddle. Than you start trotting watch is bumper and faster than  walking you will learn to post on beat with the horse and than you will move up to cantering and then jumping.

EOTC

EOTC is like three days that you spend outside of the class for school  we went to Adrenalin forest Spencer park  day 2 we went to Jellie park day 3 we went into the city.

day 1 

we had to be at school by 8:15 am or we would be left at school. my group went to Spencer park first it was lots of run when we got there. There was a petting zoo with sheep pigs and chickens when we got to the park bit i went on the flying fox and these monkey rings but i didn't get that far because they could swing i only got half way though. I liked playing in the sand part not lots of people where there watch was good my friends and i tired to make a stream i worked a little bit. 

After that we went to next door to Adrenalin forest i was a bit scared but happy too be there. We got our harness on and i went to level  3B the first bit was ok but the rest of it was really hard for me i liked challenging myself to do some of the more scaring things. I learnt to trust myself more.
