Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sit tall and straight with your head, hips, and ankles aligned. Keep your eyes forward or in the direction you want to move. Place the balls of your feet in the stirrups if you're using them. Grasp the reins with your left hand if you're riding Western style.

Answer: Whether you're riding English or Western style, your posture should be tall, straight, and balanced. Keep your arms relaxed and against your sides, and allow your legs to hang naturally on either side of the horse. If you're well-balanced, you should be sitting directly over your ankles. This means your ankles, hips, and head form a straight line. If you weren't on the horse, you'd be able to stand in this position without toppling over. Locking your eyes on a focal point ahead will help you keep your posture straight and balanced. The better you keep your balance, the more balanced your horse will be. A good rule to remember is the direction you see through the horse's ears is the direction you'll go. Lowering your eyes is a bad habit to get into since it's tough to break and can eventually lead to slumping. If you have trouble keeping your eyes up, try focusing on trees or a building's roofline ahead of you. If you're riding with stirrups, keep only the balls of your feet in them. Flex your ankles so your heels are closer to the ground than the balls of your feet. Keep even pressure on the stirrups at all times to maintain your balance. Be sure not to push yourself forward or use the stirrups to bounce up and down when the horse trots. Hold the reins with your left hand just above and in front of the pommel, which is the raised part at the front of the saddle. Rest your right hand on your thigh, and keep both elbows against your sides. If you're riding English style, grasp the reins with both hands. Hold your hands just ahead of the saddle and keep your elbows slightly bent, relaxed, and close to your sides. As you sit up straight, your elbows should be aligned with your head.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure you have everything you need before you start. Eliminate as many distractions as possible. Concentrate on one task at a time. Take a break every hour. Dive back in after study breaks. Create incentives to finish. Let the homework take as long as it needs. Review your work after you finish.

Answer: It's distracting and difficult to go searching for a ruler or a protractor after you're in the middle of your geometry homework, and it can be difficult to get back into it after going on a hunt that takes a half hour. If you've planned effectively, you should know exactly what you'll need to complete the assignment and can set up everything in your study space you'll need. Put your phone away, get away from your computer, and make your environment as quiet as possible. Giving homework your undivided attention will actually make it easier, because your mind won't be balancing different tasks at the same time. If you find this hard, try giving your devices to your parents/guardians or try putting it in another room. It's common that students will try to multi-task, watching TV or listening to the radio or continuing to chat on Facebook or Instagram while also trying to do homework. It'll be so much more fun to do those things after you're already done with your homework, though, and your homework will take half as much time if you're focused on doing nothing but your homework. Check your phone or your social networking sites during your study break, but not before. Use these distractions as a carrot, not as a pacifier. Finish each assignment completely and check it off your list before moving on to the next item. It's usually better to finish one thing completely, so you can put it out of your mind and move on to other things. Focusing on individual tasks helps to keep you focused. Put all the other assignments out of your mind and focus on the task at hand. Maybe you could even ask a close friend or family to help you. Set a specific amount of time you will spend every hour doing something besides homework, and stick to it. Be sure you set how long after the start of the hour, and how long you will take. Don't let your break be too long though! You could start doing something and not want to go back to work! Try to figure out what works best for you. Some students might like to start their homework immediately after school to get it done as quickly as possible, while it may be better to give yourself an hour to relax before starting in on it and decompress from the long school day. Don't wait for the last minute. While it may seem like a better idea to work straight through and finish, it's possible that the quality of the work you're doing will start to suffer if you don't give your mind a rest. It's difficult to think hard for more than 45 minutes at a time on a particular subject. Give yourself a rest and come back refreshed. Don't let breaks balloon out into longer and longer breaks, or "being done." It can be difficult to want to go back to working after you've let yourself take a break, but try to find the end in sight and work hard until you get there. The first fifteen minutes after a break are your most effective minutes, because your mind will be cleared, and ready to work hard. Give yourself a pep talk and dive back in, refreshed and ready. Put a carrot at the end of your homework, like a new episode of your favorite show, or a chunk of video game time. Make it something that you didn't get to do during your study breaks, so it'll be more attractive to keep working and finish completely. If you have trouble staying focused, get a parent, sibling, or friend to help keep you honest. Give them your phone while you're working to avoid the temptation to check it, or give them the video game controller so you won't be able to plug in for a few minutes of alien-hunting when you're supposed to be doing your homework. Then, when you're finished, show them the finished product and earn back your fun. Make it impossible to cheat. As tempting as it may be to bull-rush through your math homework to get to the Halo at the end of the tunnel, slow down and do it effectively. There's no sense in doing it if you're just doing it wrong to get it done. try to let the homework take as long as it needs to take to make sure you do it correctly. You can make yourself take enough time by having your gate-keeper (the person with your phone or video game controller) check over your homework for quality when you're done. If you know you're not going to get it anyway unless it's done right, you won't have any reason to rush. Slow down and do it right. When the last problem is done, or when the last sentence is written, don't just slam your book shut and jam your homework into your backpack. Take a short break and return to your homework with fresh eyes to read it over and look for obvious mistakes. Fixing spelling errors, typos, or obvious addition-errors is a great way to give yourself the extra points you deserve. If you go to all the trouble to do it, you might as well take a few extra minutes to make sure you do it right.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your hair into a ponytail.

Answer:
Begin gathering your hair into a high ponytail. You can use a brush for the top part of your hair, but do not brush the part where the braid is. Secure the ponytail at the crown of your head with an elastic. You can use a comb to tease your hair for more volume.
