You can't really learn to ride well from a website, book or video. There are no secrets to learning to ride a horse and the best and safest way to learn to ride is with the guidance of a competent instructor or coach. A coach or instructor can help you start out right, catch bad habits before they become ingrained, prevent you from making possibly dangerous errors and give you encouragement and support. Perhaps you can't afford weekly lessons, but I have found that even the occasional lesson leaves me with lots to work on and think about. The Learn to Ride Email Course however, will introduce you to horseback riding and prepare you with knowledge of what to expect as you learn to ride with an instructor.
