Traveling by RV is a great way to see the countryside, but sometimes it may be difficult to find the ideal location to park for several days. Many RV parks offer their guest’s activities such as fishing and swimming, which are fun activities, but if you’re like many other travelers, you want the option of participating in activities that you don’t have the opportunity to do at home. One of the most popular activities at the Iron Springs Adventure Resort is horseback riding. Horseback riding is an ideal way to see the local area and get exercise, while doing something you wouldn’t have the opportunity to do at home. If this will be your first experience at horseback riding Cedar City Utah, the following safety tips will help you have a fun, safe experience.
Wear a Helmet
Wearing a helmet is a must when horseback riding in Cedar City Utah, especially if you’re new to horseback riding. Wearing a helmet can save your life in the event you have an unplanned dismount. Make sure your help fits well and that it is in good condition. Be sure to ask the guide to check your helmet to ensure it is on properly and the strap is secure.
Wear Proper Shoes
Wearing the proper boots will help to protect your toes and help with securing your feet in the stirrups. If you don’t have boots, wear sturdy shoes that are not open toe. You should never wear open-toe shoes while horseback riding; there is a risk of the shoe falling off and scaring the horse and you could get hurt during mounting and dismounting.
When it comes to safety and horseback riding Cedar City Utah, one of the most important things to do is listen to your guide. The guides are familiar with the area and they are familiar with the horse’s behaviors, so pay attention to what they are saying. Your guide will help you to be alert in areas where there is a risk of you losing control of your horse, such as uneven ground. Be sure to stay alert and keep your gaze ahead of you, not on your horse and most of all, have fun and enjoy the experience.
