What horse girls like about horses
A lot of horse girls like the way horses are portrayed in fiction and how they’re trained. For example, in the novel The Horsewoman by Lela Nettleton, Kaitlin learns about horses through her grandmother.
This book resonates with me because it makes me want to learn to train my own horse. I think it conveys a sense of freedom and independence that is beautiful.
I also like the way horses are depicted in fiction. For example, I read an article where an equestrian said she liked how authors make horses look graceful when they race. I agree!
Horses also make good mascots for girls, which is another reason they like them. They are independent, strong, and beautiful.
Horse girls and culture
Even though horses are beloved throughout the world, there are still a few that are viewed as untamed or even hostile. This is not surprising since they have been used in mythology, folklore, and socialization for thousands of years.
Despite this history, the majority of people today that care about horses enjoy only docile ones such as foals or geldings. Even though these animals are beautiful, you can bet your horse does not like being photographed!
However, there are some horse girls out there that love a nice looking horse that does not bite or poo on things. There are plenty of places where you can find these individuals, as they do not require special treatment or love.
You do not need to pay for high-level training to be able to identify the likes of you and your horse.
Advice for becoming a horse girl
First and foremost, becoming a horse girl is all about finding your mix of horses. This means finding a few breeds that you love to ride, that you enjoy riding, and that you are good at it.
With the right breed of horse, you should be able to maneuver him or her in the arena or in competition. A good rider can make a horse seem more powerful than it is.
Then, there are the people who enjoy watching others ride a horse but do not necessarily want to get on one themselves. There are several great ways to learn how to ride a horse, including using an Old World or Western Horse Groupe (WHG), using an Arabian, or combining the two breeds.
Finally, there are those who love getting on and off a horse but don’t like how ponies do it. There are many different ways to learn how to ride, including using an American Paint Horse or English Saddlebred.
Find your true self
As humans, we’re driven to find our inner self and place in the universe. As such, we strive to become more like the people or horses that you love most.
Horse girls are some of the most horse-loving kids out there. They shift from being fascinated by horses as children to becoming obsessed as teenagers. It’s a beautiful thing!
For some people, horses represent stability and security in life, making it hard to understand why someone would want to be horse-related. For others, horses represent independence and freedom, two valuable qualities that need to be affirmed in your life.
Horses have special powers
There is a mysterious energy that horses exude when theyre running. It is called lope and it is similar to galloping.
Lope was once a practiced sport in countries such as Spain and Germany where horse riders would run their horses in a circle, then turn around and race away again.
It was a way to demonstrate skill at horse racing, or display your passion for the horse. It is still practiced in places such as China where horses are important symbols of royalty.
Get close to nature
Getting a horse is a great way to learn about nature and how to enjoy the outdoors. To ride, trot, or canter!
Horse girls learn all about the anatomy of a horse as well as how to care for one. A horse is an exercise machine!
Some places to learn about horses are at local equestrian clubs, Olympic Training Cente (OTC) programs, and at barns and stableplaces. Stable stays are a growing trend and give off very little medical information.
Overall, horses are easy to care for making them a good first pet. If you have any concerns, you can go to the vet or barn staff for help.
Learn to be patient
When your horse is not performing at its best, it is important to be patient. You should never force your horse to respond or perform better than it wants to or needs to.
Horses are intelligent animals and know how to use their patience to respond more effectively to you. When you are patient with your horse, he will respond more efficiently and consistently.
Some things horses can’t do quickly such as riding, so when they don’t respond quickly or aren’t producing like you’d like, that’s okay. It will turn out fine in the end!
If horses need time away, offered a nice break before they return or given a new challenge if they’ve been sitting back for some time, then give them that.
Build up your confidence
Being able to ride is a great way to exercise your horse. Rodeoing is a very fun way to get on an animal and work with him or her!
Building your confidence on a horse is half the battle, however. You must stay on and ride when you are “not ready” for an exercise session or class.
Rodeos are very busy places with people on horses. It may take you a few tries before you feel comfortable being out in the open and vulnerable. Once you develop a confidence zone, try some easy exercises like rockwork or ringwork!
Try going to classes at your local equestrian facility if you are not interested in training at home. Some really nice Experiences programs offer home study access as well.
