How many miles a rider rode one horse?
what u talking about? a rider can ride a horse as long as he/she wants, until either the rider or horse dies...
How long does it take to become a perfect horse rider?
No one is a perfect horse rider and it takes quite a few years to become a good one depending on how much you ride. It took me about 5 years to get really good though I don't have much time to ride.
Is it safe for horses to be ridden on all the time?
This wholly depends on if the horse is healthy and fit enough to carry a rider for long periods of time. If the horse has no ailments and is of good weight and fitness it can likely carry a rider for long periods of time with little to no harmful effects. The catch is that the rider must be a good rider and well balanced and quiet in the saddle or they will cause the horse to become sore. It's also best to let the horse have a short break from time to time. A horse that is old or very young should never be ridden for prolonged periods of time, not should a horse that is injured or ill in any way.
Can a 5'5 woman fit on a 14.3 horse?
Absolutely. 5'5" is generally a fairly good size of rider for a 14.3hh horse. I am 5'9" and can safely ride small horses and large ponies. BUT it depends on the size of the rider and the condition of the horse.If a rider is 5'5" but weighs 200 lbs, then you would NOT want that rider on a small horse. As long as the rider is fairly fit and their weight is fairly proportional to their height (even if they are a little overweight) then it is safe for a rider who is 5'5" to ride a 14.3hh horse.The other factor to take into account is the condition of the horse. ANY horse, no matter what size or shape, is not suitable to be ridden by ANY rider if it is lame, sick, or simply too old and frail. Even if a rider is a good size proportionally for a particular horse, a horse that is older with stiffer joints or one with bad feet may do better with a much lighter/smaller rider.Choosing an appropriate horse-rider combination is up to the owner and/or trainer. If a rider is 5'5" and of proportional body weight, and the horse who is 14.3hh is fit and of an appropriate riding level for the level of the rider, then the match is safe :-)
How do horses stay balanced when jumping?
As long as the rider is balanced, the horse will clear a jump more easily, by keeping balanced. So, the horse and rider have to work together in order to make the balance correct. Don't just rely on the horse - rely on you to!
Should you get a Arabian as the first horse you should ever get?
Any breed can be a good first horse so long as the rider and horse get along and match each others skills.
How far can a man on horseback travel in one day?
Oh how I love this question! First, how many horses?On one horse at a forced pace would be about 50 miles. A man in good condition can handle the same distance on foot. If you don't care if the horse survives you can double that. One horse, one rider and you might do 200 miles in 24 hours. The horse might be dead when you hit the finish line, but the rider would survive.Lots of other things should be thrown into the equation. Terrain and thegeography and the riders knowledge of both. Weather, temperature andavailable water would be important factors to consider. The physicalcondition and training of both the horse and rider should be evaluated.I've stayed in the saddle for a full day, but that was long, long ago. Mylongest ride on a single horse was 336 miles in seven days. That was in1950. I loved it then.
How long did it take for the pony express to get across the country?
The Pony Express could average 12 to 15 miles per hour, including stops. The speed was maintained by having fresh horses every 10 to 15 miles along the greater part of the routes. The rider and mailbags would quickly transfer from horse to horse, with a rider riding for an average of 10 hours, but sometimes as long as 20.
What kind of horse is best for new riders?
Some horses that would be good for beginners would be: The quarter horse- one of the most popular breeds in the USA The appaloosa The pinto The connemara Hope that helped! It does not have to do with the breed of the horse!! take this from a VERY EXPERIENCED RIDER! the best horse for a beginner would be a horse that is atleast 20 year-old. why? because a 20 year old horse ( a horse on the older side) is more mellow and is less likely to bolt or take off. so if you are planning on doing lessons, ask for a older horse that has been doing lessons for a long time, hope that helped you!
How much money does a horse back rider get in 2 weeks?
Most people would agree that a rider rides for the pleasure and not for payment. and they should love their horse and not just do it for a job. If you are interested in being a pro-rider or turning something you love to do into a job then you can expect to start out at minimum wage and receive pay increases as your skills improve or you move to a bigger barn. Some riders will exchange riding a horse for other benefits other than just money.
How long would it take to travel 200 miles by horse?
It depends how fast the horse is travelling ! Assuming the horse can travel at a constant speed of 20 mph, it would take 10 hours without resting. No horse can maintain a speed of 20 mph for 10 hours with a rider on it's back. This would kill the horse. On average you can travel around 30 miles in a day and not overwork the horse. But if you have a very good horse and it is not too hot, you could travel up to 50 miles with some rest stops. So you are looking at at around 4 days to travel 200 miles.
How long can horses go on trails with out getting tiered?
The length of the trail ride will vary due to a horses fitness level. Never take an unfit horse out on the trails, this is just asking for an injury. The heat is a factor but more important is the humidity level. The more humid it is the less a horse can sweat. A horse should be able to carry a rider (Not an overweight rider) for a minimum of one hour without any undue stress in good weather, assuming the horse is fit and the rider capable. The footing of the trail will also help decide how long a horse can go without tiring, deep sandy trails will wear down a horse faster than flat smooth trails will. If you are unsure about the horse you are riding, have a more experienced friend or trainer asses him and tell you what they think.
