Tips for horse riding:

Before you get on, make sure you are wearing a properly fitted horse riding helmet. It can save your life in the event of an unplanned dismount.

The safest way is to take riding lessons with a professional instructor, or on an escorted trail ride. Don’t attempt to do it by yourself.

The horse could also be nervous, tired or even scared to have someone new riding him. Therefore, to establish a good relationship since the beginning, greet your horse when you’re introduced to him at the ranch.
