Prepare for your trip:
Before you go on your horse riding holiday, make sure you have all the necessary gear, such as a helmet, riding boots, and appropriate clothing. You should also plan your travel arrangements and accommodations, and make sure you have enough time to relax and enjoy yourself on your trip.
