Upper Saddle River

participate in Barrel Racing, Show Jumping, Pole Bending, Dressage and a whole lot more. There are also different types of saddles for riding such as Westren and English. Both types of saddles are designed for certain styles, sports, and disciplines. My favorite thing about horseback riding is that it gives you an opportunity to bond with your horse, and mother nature. The english saddle is made to give the rider close contact with the horse's back. The rider has to learn to post to a trot.…

It all started when I was a little girl, I had always wanted a horse. So when I was 8 I started to take lessons but that only lasted for a few years, hard times hit and I wasn’t able to afford to ride anymore. I was too young to be able to help around a barn so for the time being I had to give up my love of riding and my time with horses. That was until I turned 16 and I was able to start volunteering with horses. When my parents split up and it sent me into a depression, I dreaded getting up…

Electrocuted Man One stormy night, as I was out walking just outside of Lime Spring, Iowa, lightning began flashing every second across the sky. The wind developed a creepy whistle to it. Whoooo!

I started to run full sprint, so I wouldn’t get caught in the rushing water. As I was running, I came to a halt. The rain was still…

up on someone? Did they make you angry or upset? Well my horse did exactly that when he threw me off and broke my wrist. I was so angry and upset at him, I just wanted to get rid of him. I didn’t work him for 3 months and had to retrain him under saddle. I am glad today I didn’t give up on him and decide to get help in retraining him. When I look back at the first time I fell off my horse and broke my wrist, I wonder why it took so long for me to get back on and ride again. It was September…

I had always been around horses growing up. I learned how to ride horses at a very young age. However, all the horses I rode were always well trained. Therefore, riding an untamed horse was something completely new to me.

The next few months consisted of a lot of ground work with Mystic that would lead up to the day that I was going to have to ride an…

Some trips are cyclical like an amusement park ride who’s speed and momentum we cannot control. They are seemingly spinning out of control filled with dizzying distractions that prevent us from enjoying the ride and knowing how to…

While riding a horse, one of the most important parts is the saddle, that's why it is important to have a well made saddle.

Each part of the saddle has a specific place on the hide it…

Most trainers have duties, like “riding the horses, and training them to perform desired movements and behaviors, they are also responsible for planning training exercise, breaking horses to saddle and bridle, making horses more “bomb” proof (meaning desensitizing and more relaxed around unfamiliar sounds and sights), treating minor injuries, calling a vet if needed” (The Balance). Most trainers also actually show the horses, they do this for…
