Western Discipline
Taking Western riding lessons involves learning the fundamental basics of horsemanship, including how to properly mount and dismount, maintain a correct riding posture, use your legs and hands to effectively communicate with the horse, steer, stop, and transition between gaits (walk, trot, canter) while utilizing a Western saddle and reins, with a strong emphasis on balance, body position, and gentle cues to guide the horse, often starting with ground work and basic horse care like grooming before progressing to riding in the arena.
English Discipline
English riding is an equestrian discipline with many different styles; however, at the most basic level, most versions require riders to use both hands on the reins, rather than just one hand, as is often seen in western riding.

ABOUT US
Shé:kon, my name is Tracey Snow, I am the Coordinator of the “No Horsing Around” Program. The program started in 2021–22 originally through the MCK Sports and Recreation program. It was a pilot project due to the limited funds that were available. Due to its immediate popularity, the program transferred to KSCS a year later as they were able to offer more opportunities to meet the high interests of the community and allow the program to grow.
