Horse and Rider
|Winter 2022
Help your young rider prepare for a fall, recover quickly, and move past it.
When you've been riding your entire life, getting back on the horse after a fall has probably been drilled into you since the first time you stepped a foot into a stirrup. But when you're raising a young rider, you'll have more luck helping them grasp that concept with a little more nuance, a sense of humor, and fundamentals that become part of their muscle memory.
Taking a tumble from horseback can best be handled in three phases. I'll cover each of those phases in detail below, all of which I use to teach my riders, from the smallest to the most mature.
Phase 1: Preparation
When your child begins riding, I suggest teaching him or her to be ready for an emergency dismount. This means practicing a dismount at any time, off either side of the horse. I prefer to practice these emergency dismounts at the walk while doing other riding exercises..

Ranch Sorting Drills For a Dull Horse
Some horses are born eager to hunt a cow, while others—no matter how broke—would rather conserve energy and hang back. A horse that's dull to your leg or slow to react can make working a cow frustrating and unproductive. The goal isn't just to get through the run—it's to teach your horse to drive up into a cow with purpose and maintain forward momentum without constant kicking or nagging from you.
