Sacrofano On horseback

Western riding lesson

Sacrofano

Western riding is a long rein, a light hand, and a horse bred to read your weight before it reads your reins. The Quarter Horses at Sacrofano are the real thing, and the instructors teach it properly.

How the day goes

  1. Meet the instructor and get the western tack explained before you mount.
  2. Work in the arena: neck rein, seat, stop and back up, then do it again.
  3. Finish knowing whether you want the trail rides that leave from the same yard.
