In the conditions of hiking in mountainous terrain, it is quite easy to control a horse. In the column, the horses move independently one after the other. This is a familiar thing for them, they know the trails well. The task of the rider is only:

• keep a distance between the horses (not too far and not too close);
• in some cases, while riding a horse, push off with your hand from tree trunks and protect your head from low branches;
• do not let the horse eat grass all the time (to do this, pull the reins and lift the horse's head);
• Don't drive through the bushes;
• strictly follow the path chosen by the instructor and do not enter dangerous places: steep slopes, deep places of rivers;
• don't let the horse jump off the rocks.
• A horse is a big and powerful animal. Make sure she doesn't accidentally step on your foot.
• You CAN'T approach the horse from BEHIND! Our horses are calm, but still they are HORSES :) They can get scared and kick you.
• After making a planned or forced stop on the way, do not let go of the horse. You need to tie it down or ask an instructor/ friend to hold it.
• Altai horses should be tied not by a leash, but by a special rope. The chamberlain is also used to urge on a horse or lead it "by the reins".
• It is very important to keep the distance between the horses and keep up.
• The distance should be 2-3 meters. This distance between the riders allows you to save the time of the transition, not to stray from the path chosen by the instructor, and to conserve the strength of the horses.
• If you realize that you are lagging behind, the horse needs to be adjusted. To do this, use a chamberlain - this is normal, the horse will not be hurt.
• During the transition, keep an eye on your feelings. If you feel that the saddle is "leaving" to the left / right / forward / backward, immediately inform the instructor.
• Keep an eye on the condition of the horse – legs (lameness), back (bumps, abrasions). If you see something, inform the instructor.
• A horse is your best friend, companion and brother during a hike. Try to establish contact with her. So that you trust each other and there is mutual understanding between you – talk to the horse, praise, stroke, etc. It is well known that such attention is very pleasant for a horse! :)

During the route, you need to listen, and at some points, unquestioningly follow the recommendations of the instructor, because your safety depends on it, and in particular:

• WARN the instructor that you are leaving the parking lot (for example, to go for a walk, take pictures, etc.). Be sure to tell them approximately what time you plan to be away and which way you are going to go;
• FOLLOW all the instructions of the instructor during the transition;
• DO NOT BE OFFENDED by the instructor when he gives objective recommendations;

Beeline, Megafon and MTS mobile operators are steadily operating within the village of Elekmonar.

Wi-Fi is working quite successfully in our headquarters.
