When riding, the following things are important to have mastered:
1. To be able to keep yourself calm in all situations. Your horse can sense when you are tense by the way you are sitting in the saddle.
2. Be aware of your surroundings. Horses will spook at most everything, a plastic bag, branch that moves in the wind, another animal, or at something you can't even see. They are natural animals of flight so they will run away from danger. If you are on them, it could be very dangerous. Keep an eye out for anything that will spook you horse and be prepared to handle the situation
3. Good communication and a sound horse are key things when riding.
4. If you are a novice rider, have another, more experienced person with you.
5. Have a good seat, don't be bouncing around or a stiff board on your horse, it wont be comfortable for them or you.
6. Good, strong legs help keep you in the saddle. But don't always have your legs tight around the horse, it will give them mixed signals.
