How To A Horse
When you’re ready to ride a horse, the first thing you need to do is get your horse or pony ready. That’s why we’re going to walk through how to do that here!
If a horse is in a field, find the gate to the field.

Find it before you get to the field. If you can’t find it, try again later.
Make sure you know where the horse’s barn is.
- Make sure you know where the horse’s barn is.
- There are many different types of barns and they can be very large! It can be easy to get lost in a big barn, so make sure you know where the feed room and tack room are located. You should also find out where your horse’s stall is located, as well as how long it takes for him or her to walk from one area of the barn to another location.
Make sure you are at the right barn!
Before you begin grooming, make sure that you are at the right barn. Sometimes people get confused and go to the wrong barn, or forget which one they were supposed to go to in the first place. There are many different kinds of barns:
- Large Barns
- Smaller Barns
- Storage Sheds That You Rent From A Man Who Lives In An RV Park Nearby And Has A Lot Of Goats
Take your car to the barn and park it next to the horse walker or in some shade by the barn.
When you arrive at the barn, park your car in some shade by the barn. This will keep your vehicle cooler and less prone to overheating, as well as save it from sun damage (and therefore higher insurance premiums). It also makes it a less attractive target for thieves, who may be on the lookout for an easy steal. If you can’t find any shade around the barn itself, try parking under a tree or awning somewhere close by so that your car doesn’t get baked into an oven on its way home during summer months.
If there is no place for you to park in some shade, or if there is no horse walker, call your riding instructor and ask her to show you where you can park your car, then get out and close your door.

- Open the back of your vehicle and take out your tack box, which should contain all of the necessary items that a student needs while he/she rides their horse. These include:
- Halters, bridles and reins (in case they need a backup)
- Saddlebags with grooming supplies (which is usually a brush, hoof pick and fly spray)
- Spare horseshoes or nails in case one breaks during the lesson
Walk quietly into the barn.
- Walk quietly into the barn. The horses are sensitive to noise, so you want to avoid making loud noises when you enter their space. If you must speak, speak quietly and slowly—the quieter your voice is, the easier it will be for the horse to focus on what you have to say instead of being startled by something else in his environment (like a sudden bump).
- Don’t touch any of the horses or any of their equipment without asking permission first! There are many reasons why this is important: if someone has already claimed a certain horse as their own and is grooming them or saddling them up for riding lessons, then obviously it would be rude for anyone else who isn’t partaking in those activities yet still wants access
Look at all of the horses, including their heights and markings.
When you go to look at horses, it’s important to pay attention to their marks and heights. Looking at the markings of a horse can tell you a lot about their personality, so take your time looking at their body shape. A horse with white socks and spots on its legs is likely going to be very energetic and playful. On the other hand, if there are no markings on a horse’s legs or face then it might be shy or quiet. Also make sure you check how tall each horse is! If one seems too small for your height then maybe that isn’t the right one for you!
Find your horse’s stall number and walk toward it.
Now that you’re in the barn, walk toward your horse’s stall number. In most cases, the stall numbers are painted on the wall near the door or on a sign hanging above each stall. You can also ask an attendant for help if you can’t find it by yourself. Once you reach your horse’s stall, open up its door and introduce yourself!
Find your horse’s halter in his halter rack and put it on him.
First, find your horse’s halter in his halter rack and put it on him. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection as you do this. If the halter is dirty, clean it first with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly before putting it on your horse’s head. Once you have fitted the halter to his head, check that all buckles are fastened securely (the two side straps should be even). Check that there are no tears or holes in the leather; if there are any damage issues, replace your horse’s halter immediately!
