USEFUL INFORMATION – Horses are certainly affectionate animals, but they scare easily. This is why you must always be careful in their presence. Caught by surprise, the horse may become frightened, suddenly swerve and run away. A rider must always be attentive to his position. A horse can be excited, happy or angry, as we are. His different attitudes can make it clear what he feels or what he is about to do. In any case, trust the riding instructors for the first approaches.
