Introduction to Horse Riding
Horse riding is an exhilarating sport, to feel the power of such a strong animal beneath you awakens all of your senses. Whether you are a complete beginner or experienced rider we like to make sure you are comfortable on your horse before embarking on a trek or riding lesson.
Safety is our main priority.
We do this by firstly placing you on a horse to suit your size and or weight, and experience.
We will then walk you through the very basics of posture. e.g., how to sit in the saddle, how to hold and use the reigns, where and how to position your legs and feet, and how to walk, stop, reverse and to turn left and right.
We believe that it is vitally important when learning to ride that you are shown correctly from the beginning, as it is very easy to pick up bad habits, it is difficult to change them in the future.
If you are a novice at riding we are sure you will leave us with a feeling of achievement and that you have surely learned something.
We find that many riders fulfil dreams with us as we have the beauty of the beach and clear waters to enjoy.
Tobago truly is a beautiful island and to explore her on horse back really is to be at one with nature.
If you are interested in joining us for a trek or lesson you will find more details and how to book online on the left hand menu.
The staff from Friendship Stables looks forward to hearing from you.
