It depends where you ride. If you are having lessons at your house then yes you will probably need your own horse. But if you are going to a riding centre then usually you will not need a horse of your own.

What are some good tips on riding?

It depends how large is the pony, ponies are much like horses just smaller. If your to big i wouldn't suggest riding them.Firstly If you have a pony a saddle and bridle then u can ride but if u havent rode before you wouldn't be too good. I would suggest if you have never ridden a pony before i would addvistse in the paper you want someone to train you in your home or u could just go to a bhs riding school and be showing how to rideI would highly reccommened to go to a riding school and get a experinced instrocker and ride a few times if you do then u should buy a horse but rember horses are expensive so make sure you have enough money first

What do you need to own a horse?

Answer. Well it depends...How old is the horse, how long have you had it? You don't need to know much but you do need to know what you are doing.

I want to ride horses but I don't have one nor a place to ride one I want to find a place where I can borrow one then ride for awhile?

My daughter worked out a deal with a local resident who had horses and due to a health condition was unable to exercise his horses. She saddled, rode, cleaned and fed the horses in exchange. It may be possible you could work out a similar exchange. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.IN ADDITION:I agree with what this person said. But if you don't know how to care for a horse or saddle one then you can also go over and just volunteer to help take care of the horses. My brothers father in law use to own a horse ranch where he exercised horses, and believe me there is plenty to do around there. And in time after these people get to know you I'm sure they will be more than happy to show you have to saddle a horse. Other than that I don't know of any place where you can just borrow a horse, but there are places where you can rent one. Hope this helps, have a Blessed Day.I have no idea where you are located, but I am in SC and have 2 horses that need riding. I am not in good health, and am not able to give them the excersize and time they need. If you are in Florence area SC, Please reply to this blog and I will check it later.

Riding school has more focused teaching, and you don't need to have a horse to ride at most riding schools.

When can you start instructing horseback riding lessons what qualifications do you need?

There is no law stating that you must have a degree or even a licence to instruct others in riding. But what I would look for in an instructor would be someone that has experience and someone that has shown their own horse(s) and that they have won on a consistant level. You can't instruct another if you don't know what you are doing. Someone that has show experience and was a consistant winner must know and understand correct riding. An added plus would be someone that trained that horse to be the winner it is.
