    4, when approaching a horse,it’s best to approach from the horse’s left front side,and avoid making sudden movements. Sudden motions may startle the horse.
    5, when horseback ridingdownhill (or on a slope), try not to run,to prevent the horse from losing its footing..
    6. Horseback riding on Bashang: by the rules. It is. that each horse is provided free of charge with a horse guide.. If you are inexperienced or not confident in your riding skills,,. do not let the horse guide leave.. If you choose not to have a guide and an accident such as a fall occurs, you will theoretically be responsible for it yourself.
    7.. Horseback riding on Bashang calculates the round-trip time based on the last rider. For example, in a small group of around ten people, if the first person has already set off half an hour earlier but the last one departs later, the departure time will be counted according to the last rider. The same applies when settling the bill — the return time is based on the last person back. That means, if nine out of ten riders return after one hour but the tenth takes two hours, the total riding time charged will be two hours for everyone. In short, all riders are required to go and return together, which also ensures safety. This rule is very important..
