Dromgool Horsemanship: Leading Horse-Riding Training Centre Providing Professional Training

Horse riding is gaining popularity in New Zealand. In Auckland alone, there are 23,000 enthusiasts who ride regularly. There are so many sports and activities that involves horse riding - from polo and racing to the more casual trail riding. On top of that, horse riding NZ is suitable for almost anyone, be it a child or a child at heart. There’s no wonder why this is easily becoming one of Kiwis’ favourite past times. 

There are two types of riding styles that are most common among riding aficionados: English Horse-Riding and Western Horse-Riding. While both styles are very similar, it’s important to take note what sets them apart, and more importantly what each is ideal for.

English Horse-Riding uses smaller saddles that provide closer contact to your horse’s back. This reduces interference for the horse, while still providing a safe seat for the rider, making it ideal for dressage, show jumping, hunting, mounted games, and polo. 

On the other hand, Western Horse-Riding saddles are made for the rider and the horse to counterbalance each other – catering to the needs of cattle tending cowboys whom which this riding style developed from – making it more comfortable to ride for long hours. This style is ideal for reining, team penning, roping, and trail riding. 

Apart from the saddle, each riding style requires a different reining position – both hands for English, and one hand for Western. They also require different types of horses, and gaits. Both riding styles require specific skill sets too. 

But one thing that’s common among all riding styles, is the need for a strong, trusting relationship between you and your horse. Building this, and all the skills and terminologies mentioned above are the things you’ll learn when you enrol in Dromgool Horsemanship.
