Olivia Postlewait Science Discovery: Horse Riding Lessons 4/7/15

People may think that horse riding lessons are for little kids but you don't really start learning to ride until you are around 12! This is because there is a difference between sitting on a horse and ride and properly riding. What i mean is that anyone could come and ride a horse and say that they know how to ride a horse but it takes years to learn how to ride right. I am just starting to properly learn, properly learning in when you can ride with your legs back so that you have your shoulders, thigh, and heel are in a perfect line, but for the past 6 or 7 years that i have been riding i have not been riding right. That goes for almost every one i know, they do not ride right. One person that rides right is my horse trainer Marklyn Winchensky, i take my horse to her every Thursday, and she gives me lessons. She is an inspiration, she is an amazing rider, has an indore riding arena, and barrel races. Marklyn can run a 14 second barrel pattern and for those of you who don't know how fast that is, it is fast. Her are some pictures of her

. Here is a video of Marklyn riding "Peppy's Smoken Doc"
