Riding Lessons
Equestrian training it’s Finest
At Rancho Maguey each rider will have the opportunity to work with horses at various levels of training depending on the experience of the rider. Assessing training levels, ground training, acceptance of aids, steadying, straightening, bending, and shaping of the horse. The mental and physical characteristics of the horse are being taught. As the riders and horses advance, the training will be on the correct use of the neck rein, riding circles, rollbacks, spins, slides, and lead changes. The emphasis is to develop a supple, relaxed, flexible, obedient horse and a strong, coordinated, balanced rider with a confident and secure seat.
Nivel I: Basic balance in walk and trot.
Nivel II: A confident and secure seat is following the motion of the horse independently. The student learns to get the horse into a walk, trot & canter, & maintain the gait. He or she also develops the correct body position.
