Ten Points for Attention in Riding Grassland Tourism

Riding on the grassland is the main purpose of many tourists visiting Inner Mongolia. However, things that bring joy and sadness happen from time to time. During May Day, the reporter learned from many grassland tourist attractions in Damaoqi, Baotou that many tourists fell off their horses because they didn't master the essentials of riding. Here, the herdsman Batu introduced some riding essentials for tourists.

First of all, the preparations for riding must be done well. Don't wear too long clothes, or it may scare the horse when it floats; Put down everything that may fall. If you fall off a horse, the horse will suddenly dodge in the opposite direction and throw people off. If possible, you can borrow riding boots or leggings from tourist spots, which can not only prevent your legs from being worn out, but also avoid putting your whole feet in the stirrup once you fall off your horse.

Secondly, when getting on the horse, you should follow the guidance of the owner. Horses get nervous when they see strangers. Don't play around the horse, slow down. A horse's eyes can see a range of 270 degrees. Even a well-trained horse is prone to panic and post-shock, so when you mount the horse, you must bypass the front of the horse and try to stand on the left side of the horse.

In the process of riding, the pedal should be firmly stepped to prevent slipping, but only with the forefoot and the heel down to catch the stirrup, so that even if you fall, you will not be caught by the stirrup; Don't pass things to each other on horseback, let alone use soldiers; Horses are most bumpy when they trot. You need to step on the pedal to lift your hips slightly, and your body moves up and down with the rhythm of the horse's ups and downs, so that your hips will not be worn out; Once the horse spreads its hooves and runs, you can stand up on the pedal to completely separate the buttocks from the saddle, but you must grasp the hoop to prevent the horse from suddenly stopping or changing direction.

When dismounting, the safest way is for the owner to hold the horse before dismounting. If you want to dismount, you must first adjust the position of the pedal with the heel down. Then, one hand holds the hoop in front of the saddle, and the other hand pulls the reins to the left, so that the horse's head leans to the left as far as possible, so that even if the horse is frightened, it can only run a small circle around the left, and tourists will not be dragged away or kicked.
