Understanding the Basics

I've put together a few suggested links to posts on this blog which may be of use to you if you're learning to ride or you want to go over the basics again.

These posts cover your hands, legs, body position as well as some less obvious ways of stopping your horse.

Please take your pick and I hope you find something useful to you or your horse.
