Riding A Horse

This whole week I have been learning to ride a horse. It is a lot of fun. Before we start riding, we have to do exercises like hula-hooping and walking on stilts. These exercises teach us balance. If we do not have balance on a horse, we will most likely fall off. After we do these exercises, we play games with our horse. We lead them around the arena, we tell them to walk in a circle and come back to us, we tell them to back up, and we make them move their back ends by pressing our fingers on their back legs. Finally we get to ride our horses. It is a lot of fun. I learned how to lead my horse using reins yesterday, which was kind of difficult. I had a lot of fun.
