Does anybody have any good horse riding tips please ?

Thats no good. Just breathe and stay calm. dont think about what happened last time. i've been through the same thing, and i've been riding for 14 years. Just trust the horse and relax. If you are with other people then just tell them you want to take it slow and maybe not canter. Goodluck. hope this helps. :)

I got bucked off once and hit my head, knocked out initially followed by tunnel vision and general confusion, and then back to normal, but with a considerable headache. The next time I was ready to get back in the saddle, I was really feeling the fear, so my friends found me a really nice, gentle, old horse to ride. Also a really, really tall horse, which wasn't so good, but I managed to get on (I'm quite short) and ride and eventually got back to normal. The thing is, there's no magic bullet for this sort of thing. You'll either be scared off forever (as my mother had been, years before), or your need to be with horses will override any fear. Learning to fall, by the way, is an excellent idea. If you have the time and reflexes, there are ways to fall off a horse that aren't all that painful. Some trainers can help you with this. The rest of the time, you just have to decide if your desire to be on a horse is greater than your fear. If desire wins, then you accept the dangers and go ride. Good luck.

Do a very basic course in judo and learn how to fall (it works, I've fallen off at a full gallop winded but uninjured. Start off slow on a reliable mount. Don't try it all at once a nd regain your confidence slowly Other than that, try to ride with the horse, when turning etc, your body movement should indicate the direction without much or any use of the reins try small movements, use leg pressure, not kicks.These will give you a better seat and much greater stability I'm sorry but I don't really know what else to say to such an open question

When you first mount up onto the horse breathe deeply to relax away the tension in your body. if the horse feels you being tense they will become worried. If your on a more "hot" horse sit lightly in the saddle. sometimes with really hot horses they dont like too much weight on their backs. If something does go wrong dont freeze. If the horse bolts squat in the saddle, bend your arms and give adn take with the reins until he slows. If that doesnt work take one rein and jerk it straight up. this is very uncomfortable for the horse and hell stop if hes bolting. If things get too quick paced dont straighten your arms to slow him, bending them gives you more leverage. so does sitiing up instead of slouching. Good luck!

Cowgirl up! dont let the fear of falling outlast the fear of riding.
