I just love seeing beginners interact with their horses for the first time! Glad to have you in the equestrian community, welcome!

So adorable, I feel like we all remember that first lesson. What she said about not brushing the tail, but only on special occasions. A couple of the horses I ride I try and brush them almost every time I ride bc they have super thick tails.

ive been riding 8 yrs and you did so great with ur first lesson, i love seeing people ride for the first time

I always find the back feet are much more uncomfortable to pick, and my long hair always gets in my way, don't come at me, I know most equestrians wear their hair in a ponytail or bun, but I like my hair down, I don't know why I just feel more protected/secure having my hair around my neck, I know, it's weird, but I just feel more comfortable having my hair down😅

i love how you were showed eveything before getting on, when i started they were already tacked up waiting for me to hop on a ride lol. now im glad i have some very nice stables where i volunteer with lessons and stuff, also have a few loans and shares

I’ve been riding for 7 years now and you did amazing for your first lesson!

I’ve been having a urge to learn how to ride horses for some reason I mean it just looks so amazing to ride a horse

ive been riding for nearly 4 years now! you did awesome in your first lesson!

You did so good for you very first lesson I love how your trainer tells you everything to do and shows you that one amazing trainer

I know this was last year, but you did great in your first lesson. It only gets harder from here, trust me. I've been riding since I was 7 and have had too many accidents to count. I noticed a few things your instructor did wrong. One, is the leadrope. There was a loop and if the horse had've pulled away or bolted off, you would've lost a few fingers or even your entire hand. Two, she should've had her entire focus on you, not the other students even if she is the only instructor around. When I was teaching at my old barn, if I had a beginner with me who knew next to nothing of how to do stuff, they'd constantly have my focus on them. If someone had a question, I would tell them to ask a friend first. Anything can go wrong. And third, she should've put you on the leadline as a new rider, which also wasn't very safe.

Just a tip you want to make sure your heels are down incase you fall forward your heels will catch you and you want your stirrups almost to your toes great first lesson

You did amazing for your first lesson! My first ever lesson I only sat and walked on the horse! didn't tack up or lead it or anything! This is an amazing riding school!!

So wonderful to see such an excited kid working with a trainer whom is just as excited to teach! I started riding when I was fourteen, and was put on a malnourished off the tracks thoroughbred stallion for my first lesson. It was not an enjoyable experience.

You are so lucky to be able to groom and tack up, i have my first lesson in 4 days and I’m so exited I’ve ridden before in a horse camp and trail rides but never a real lesson the horse is so cute i can walk, trot, and canter a bit ❤

This girl doesn’t need tips her instructor will teach them to her.

my fav thing ever is seeong a "my first lesson" video from a long time ago and then seeing the channel have like equestrian after it💗

What a beautiful, well trained lesson horse.

You did wonderful on your first lesson! I've been riding for 4 years now and you did way better than me on my first lesson! Glad everything went well! ❤

Wow I know I’m late for commenting but I loved watching this and your really good now and then

You did so good! I know they have probably already told you this by now :P But You usually should not hold a lead rope in a loop around your hand, if the horse bolts it would tighten around your hand and drag you along!

This is the kind of stable I would really want because they teach you to tack up and they let you groom

You were amazing I have been riding for 7 years I have a horse of my own but your much more talented then me soon enough you will be galloping!

So exited for you, been riding for 4 months now and the best thing thats ever happened to me😁😍

Tomrrow is my 3rd lesson! Love riding horses and my instructor is super nice🥰

Very good for your first ride! A tip for standing still is dont pull on the reins. Just let them hang. The reason the horse was backing but at 15:28 is because you where pulling on the reins. He put his head back to move away from the bit and that is also why he jolted his neck down.

omg ik im late but ur such an inspiration! i started lessons when i was 6 but i had to stop due to covid and we just got busy. Im gonna start lessons soon, but i keep feeling like it's way too late for me to start and i'm gonna be behind everyone. You really made me feel better!

The horse is so gorgeous you suit her/him so much

U did well for a first time! Iv’e been riding for almost 5 years now but when I did my first lesson I think u did better then be honestly!🥰 Great job!👍🏻

omg it’s so good! i ride horses too! I’ve been riding for 3 years or 4 years it’s super fun and i think it’s really fun to canter!

So cute your a amazing rider now! Always get back up on your feet! One time my horse bolted started gallop kinda and I was hanging off but it’s all about the leg so I stayed o!

Just wanted to ask (I'm about halfway through so far, looking good) is there a reason for that ad line running right through the video? Is there a way to turn it off? I find it distracting because it covers up the important things that you're being taught. I like to watch how different instructors teach their beginner riders. Thumbs up so far!

You have a very good riding stable! I think ur gonna be great at riding!

In my first horseback riding lesson, you had to take 5 or 6 tack lessons before you actually rode the horse or pony. Lucky! You did good for your first one! 👍🏻

As an equestrian I want to give a tip, when using the reins to control the horse you have to keep your hands on the horses mane and the reins have to be a little bit shorter Edit : I'm not english so I didn't know how withers were called so I gave an example as to how I saw, I'm not a perfectionist so I just tried 🤣

I love watching vidoes like this it makes me remember my first lesson 😵✨❤️

I’ve never ridden a horse and don’t know anything about tacking them up but I try watch these lessons to teach me so I’m bit more confident when I can have lessons but atm parents money tight

Good job girl you nailed it ❤

A gorgeous horse to have your first ride on!

Great job!! You did great!

I’ve been riding for 4-3 years and ur doing great!

Wow in 2 years now ur an equestrian wow u did so well for ur first lesson!❤

For your first lesson you did really great :)

are you continuning here at this barn? it looks like you fit in well!

Im so excited! Im starting ridding 5 months!

Fun fact: when your trotting the more you try not to bounce the more you will

What type of hair does she have? I know it’s a helmet but like do you know if like when you’re outside you need like a little sun protector thing that’s on the front or like a regular Viking helmet

Just did my first horse riding lesson today it was so good i didnt want to get of the horse loll we did some trotting and turns very fun ❤ xx

I remember my first lesson I was only 5 years old it was close to summer and my teacher taught me how to pick a horses hoof, brush them and also how to go behind a horse without getting bucked but every since we moved I haven’t ridden a horse since but I miss those times

For your first lesson you did amazing my first lesson was horrible I was forced to trot straight away I didn’t know how to hold the reins control stop or kick the horse but I’m better just working on my foot position In the stirrups

Omg this is where I used to ride at!

That horse was cute that you rode!

U are going to love it I ride too I walk trot and canter and jump

I had my first lesson and they were amazing help they showed me how to tack up and groom! and they also showed me how to take care of a horses stable! then after that I mounted and I was a little stiff at first then I kept having lessons every Sunday now I'm better then I was!

You can call me bias because I have riding for many years at this point, BUT HOW DID SHE TROT ON HER FIRST LESSON- like help. It took me 4 months to be able to trot. It only took two to be able to jump, BUT HEY WE ALL START SOMEWHERE

You did amazing!

Gosh- so many people in the comments saying things like; "Is that a bike helmet???" And "You should have been on a lunge line for your 1st lesson!" C'mon... Why would she have to be on a lunge line!?! And its obviously a riding hemet! In your 1st few lessons, you are learning to steer- YOU DONT LEARN TO STEER ON A LUNGE LINE- When I had my 1st lesson, we never used lunge lines- We just walked aroung the arena by ourselves! You dont need a lunge line! Even at my 1st canter- We did NOT use a lunge line! Because you dont NEED one. They are using well and highly broke schoolmaster horses. Its not a big deal. In other videos of people jumping for the 1st time, people in those comment sections have been complaining about how they jumped before they could canter- but thats how it was for me to. So- Reapeat after me; IT. IS. NOT. A. BIG. DEAL. Simple!

you did awesome!

People in the equestrian community can be horrible to people who are just starting off! So if anyone at the yard doesn’t make you feel welcome just remember that they are just jelly that you are starting to ride and that one day you might be better than them. Everyone’s lovely but there will always be people who think they’re better than you :( keep going your doing great believe in yourself !!!

Just a thought I had. When you were stopped in the middle of the area your horse started backing up and tossing their head. This was because when you come to a full stop you can loosen your rains and ease up on there mouth. BUT FOR YOUR FIRST LESSON YOU DID AMAZING!!! WAY BETTER THAN ME!!!

Yes at 9:14 you can see that the reins are to short thats why he is puting his head down to tell you he needs more rein

Aww! My trainer always used to tell me heels down chin up but I have my own horse now

You did great

Welcome to the Equestrian community!

Wow you did so good

I let my 15 yr old brother that's scared of horses ride my horse the other day, he was so sweet and good and I decided to let him walk by himself but me still beside him. He took of cantering and my mom and to run Infront of my horse to stop. It's not my fault my horse likes cantering.😂😭

What disiplen do you do?

nice job i've been riding for ten years and i was the same at my first lesson

I remember my first lesson. I had a really stubborn horse that always put his head down while riding. I was so scared!

This is prob personal, but are u now 13 or 12? Cause you started in 2021 and do u mean that year.

I would've loved to have learned with a trainer at a riding school, Instead my parents purchased a horse when i was six (TB x Irish, hunting horse 17 2) and said we will teach you! They're both hunters so they knew what they were doing. I had to learn everything in a field instead of a school. There way of teaching was me riding with them. In a way i learnt faster than a lot of people, so thats a win. I have now ridden horses for just over 10 years and i dont regret it one bit.

My first lesson was 6 years ago and u still remember it I was not scared and I was ready to ride! I’m still riding big jumps to this day

When did you fell off?

You will be so good in the future

So cute ❤

Oh I actually started riding on Monday and Saturday and on my second day I already know how to ride a horse. But we were only walking-

I ride horses, and I got to drop from my first lesson, but someone was holding me, but now no one hold me

Do you like the video

Cool I ride too🐴😀

Omg i love that hat its the kind I have but mine is white

hi! I have a question? What was the horses name, and the barn name?

Good instructor. But if this is her has control, balance and now what pressure and release means plus and riding cues are. And has all body positions. Only thing I would like to see is more safety. I as an instructor will not allow children under eighteen inter or handles without their helmet is on. I seen to many children hurt around horses with out one. That's my opinion and suggestion. Also I like children on a more suitable size horse for their height.

If they have shoes my favorite is the pick the front

I'll start mine this Saturday! And I am really confused about my uniform, principally the foot wear, I don't have the boots yet, can someone help me please?

I remember my first lessen like yesterday

Wish i had such a nice instructor ;-;

How do you know so much for your first lesson!? I did not know how to even tack up or groom on my own

You did ten times better than I did.

I did not even notice until now that we have the same first name

I’m pretty sure that’s a dressage saddle I recommend a GP saddle 🥰

First time riding and doing it without a linge line?

did she say always start on the left side/ BUT also well done you did great

Last lesson in june this years thanks for all

When I first rode no one ever led me while I was on and I was 4 But I kinda wish other beginners didn't get led because then they start trotting on the 3rd or 4th day and they learn quicker like me

Nice! How old are you!

1:21 CLEAN IT ALL!

❤❤❤

You still riding today? I’ve been riding for a year now, Jan 2023.

Welcome it is fun Dangerous and it will make you feel like you are at home

Good

I love it so much!:)
