So always take with you waterproof or easy drying clothing. Nights even in the hottest deserts can be cold. Make sure you are ready to any possible weather conditions during the ride.
3. Do not overwhelm your horse. Heavy load will make it tired quickly.
4. The best training for you is to ride more often. Besides, you can attend riding lessons, where you can learn how to ride the horse properly and how to fall off it without being injured.
5. Make sure you are comfortable in your riding gear and saddle, otherwise your trip will be miserable.
