Following the requirements of the Bit ‘n’ Bridle badge girls will rotate through three different activities. The first activity will be getting a chance to groom our horses, prepare them for a ride and learn all about horse safety. The second activity will be a hands-on theory lesson. This lesson is up to the troop and will be decided on a head of time. Topics available include parts of the horse, breeds and colors, jobs horses do, and horse health. The final activity will be a ride in which we will teach the basics of how to ask your horse to walk, stop and turn.
