Horse/pet training

by: Angelina J 

I mainly want to start horse training but if that's not possible I want to do something with animals rather it's training or something else. animals have always had a special place in my heart so being able to work with them when I'm older is something I'm hoping for. I've been riding horses for years and I've always loved horses more than other animals. I've been riding horses since I was around 5 and I've loved it ever since. 

styles

there're many different styles but I want to do either jumping or western. I've always been interested in jumping but if that doesn't work out, I want to do western. there's also dressage which is basically just showing you and your horse and how good both look and perform. 

western

western is a more laid-back type of riding. it feels slower compared to riding English but if you ride western you can do things such as barrel racing, and lassoing calves.

English

English is more common than western you tend to see a lot more of it. there're many different styles you can ride but the main ones I'm interested in are jumping, dressage. I want to do jumping before dressage because I've always been interested in it and used to do lessons on it so I'm hoping to get good enough to compete one day. dressage is a bit more difficult and can require more training with you and the horse, but it is an interesting style to do. it's training your horse to do certain movements in a certain order, and you're judge based on how well your horse performed but also on how well you and your horse look.
