| Why Learn To Ride? | |
| “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”-- Sir Winston Churchill | |
To
the novice, horseback riding may look like a passive sport with the rider merely sitting and giving the horse a few simple instructions like “go”and “whoa.” After all, the horse is doing all the work, right? Wrong. Horseback riding offers immense benefits far beyond anything that the casual observer might expect. |
|
Horseback
riding is a sport that people of any age can enjoy. Many find companionship and relaxation while working with their horse. The camaraderie of others who enjoy similar activities is also appealing. It is fun to get together with friends for a lesson, team endeavor, or a trail ride. In times of stress, a horse can be a quiet friend, who is without judgment or guile. |
|
Riding
involves fresh air and nature. It develops balance and coordination. The movements required to cue a horse involve body awareness and concentration. Riding also uses many muscles; most importantly the leg, abdominal, shoulder and back muscles. Riding does not depend on strength,but strong flexible muscles that aid in stability and coordination. |
|
Involvement
with horses provides focus, connection, companionship and solace to young and old alike. It is an activity that can shape and enhance your appreciation for life. The learning programs at 8th Heaven offer an opportunity to develop a comprehensive relationship with the horse. We emphasize the importance of safety and offer instruction that develops skill to enable our students to feel good about what they are doing. |
