Answer 1

Only to just relax and enjoy it, listen to your instructor, and just have funXXX

Answer 2

Horse riding is great fun, but it can work your muscles. Maybe you could try some leg stretches. Also once you are on the horse, listen to your insturctor, and don't be afraid to ask him/her any questions (it is better to make sure you understand). Most of all, just listen carefully, relax and have fun!

You also might want to borrow or buy a pair of riding gloves. You can pick them up for about £3 in riding shops. This will stop the reins rubbing on your hands. You don't want your day to be ruined by sore blisters!

Answer 3

Do some stretches now, you'll be using some muscles you forgot you had.  I'm sure there's a website somewhere that'll give you some good ones.

Answer 4

don't fall off the horse (:
