if you had more then just 2 people you are teaching musical chairs is really fun. you can set chairs at each end of a field and stuff. unless your horse is trainer or just lazy alot of horses spook so you cant swing or throw or make loud noises. i do not know lol see who can spin around the fastest.What are some horse back riding games i could use in a lesson?
this will help them keep their heels down and improve their balance :

(though it might not work as well if they ride western)

first of all the stirrups have to be fairly short so that they can stand up in them.

have them ride the horse/s walk

1 stand up in you stirrups (so you are out of the saddle) with you legs totally strait

2 then let your heels sink down as low as you can

3 hold this position as long as you can while your horse walks

to make it fun you can make it a game between the 2 of them by seeing who can do it the longestWhat are some horse back riding games i could use in a lesson?
Learning to ride takes a lot of time plus they have to really want to otherwise they aren't going to pay attention to you. A game can make it more fun but not necessarily help with them stay in position. Simon Says can be fun.
