Isabella’s bareback riding tips – Safety first!
It is always a good idea to run your paw down your pony’s withers so he feels you there and will not startle.
When your pony is comfortable with you next to him then make sure he is holding steady…
then gently apply some of your weight to his back…
… and pull yourself up by kicking one leg up.
Sometimes though, your pony won’t want take you for a ride!
Then it is best to give him the day off
