When watching the game, you should actively cooperate with the players and horses in the game, and don't throw all kinds of items into the venue to avoid hurting the horses and riders.
What are the equestrian equipment?
1. Saddle is the most important equipment when riding. Well-made and appropriate size saddle is an important guarantee for the harmony and comfort of people and horses in sports. Modern saddles fully consider the ergonomics of people and horses, and adopt an integrated and elastic saddle frame, with elegant leather and light weight, which is widely used in riding and ordinary leisure riding. What kind of saddle is usually chosen is determined by the height, figure and movement of horses and people. General leisure riding generally chooses comprehensive saddle.
2. Whips are made of leather or fiber products, which are generally long and short, and need to be selected according to their actual situation. Ordinary horseback riding generally uses a whip of medium length.
3. There are thousands of kinds of armatures, and horses with different personalities have different requirements for the use of armatures. Armature is mainly made of stainless steel, with smooth surface, moderate weight, no rust and no injury to horses.
4. Water pipes and reins are like the steering wheel and braking system of horses, generally made of leather and PVC. Good water hose and reins have good flexibility, which can transmit action information more accurately in riding and realize the tacit cooperation between man and horse.
What are the equestrian skills of teenagers?
1, don't let your riding seat push forward, many riders will push the riding seat forward hard. They think it will help the horse move forward. A medium-sized horse weighs about 500 Jin, so it is difficult for the rider to push and ride. Pushing and sitting will tighten the rider's muscles and hinder the horse's movements, which may make the horse feel uncomfortable and refuse to obey.
2, sitting in the deepest part of the saddle, the deepest part of the saddle is behind the front saddle, and it is also the strongest part of the horse's body and bones. This part of the horse's back bounces the lightest. It's important to sit in this position. To really do this, sometimes you need very subtle adjustments. These minor adjustments may seem strange at first.
3. Let your elbow drop below your shoulder. In classical riding, the center of elbow drooping is below the shoulder. In this posture, the rider's arm acts like a soft spring, and it keeps in contact with the mouth. Too straight arm elasticity will be greatly weakened. If your hands and elbows are too forward, it will cause imbalance, make the front of the horse too free, and easily lead to the danger of us falling off the horse.

Points will be deducted for knocking down obstacles, refusing to cross, falling down, wrong sequence or overtime.

Angel of security
Harness: Before riding, with the help of relevant personnel, check the equipment on the horse, from saddle to reins, for damage or other safety hazards.
Road conditions: Avoid people or obstacles on the road, and be careful if there is muddy land. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the care of horses when riding in the wild. Please don't let the horse drink water immediately after a lot of exercise to avoid choking or nosebleeds. Edible plants should also be investigated to prevent problems.
Personal: Keep the correct riding posture, pedal with the first half of your foot and sit up straight on the seat. This is the posture of walking. When walking fast and running fast, the legs, knees and inner thighs clamp the horse hard, lean forward, and the hips and saddle seem to touch each other, following the running rhythm of the horse.
Suddenness: Accidents often occur during riding in the wild, so measures to prevent accidents are essential. If the horse is frightened or there is something wrong with the equipment, you should face it calmly and not relax, and seek solutions with relevant personnel in time.
