Soon you will find yourself experiencing two main occurrences:

First, you will gain a self-assurance and ability in your riding.

Next, you will see other experienced riders and desire to achieve even greater riding abilities.

In short, your riding dreams will start to reach new heights.

When this happens, you’ll want to find an outstanding teacher:

It is crucial at this point to obtain the teachings of a highly skilled riding coach to assist and guide you.

Explain to your teacher in detail exactly what it is you are looking to gain in terms of riding, so your instruction remains on course. Keep in mind, however, that some goals simply may not be realistic in some instances. Especially pay attention to your teacher’s suggestions about realistic time-frames, and allow both your teacher and yourself some flexibility.

If you wish to jump headfirst into a dressage test for the very first time, for instance, your teacher may prepare you first by utilizing ring craft skills and competition arena techniques to improve your overall riding ability. A good coach can provide greater knowledge of warm-up methods for your horse, information about shows, catering to a specific venue, and competition tips as well.
