Benefits of Horse Riding
Growing amounts of evidence show that horsemanship is an excellent, productive way to increase stability, muscle control and emotional health.
Working with horses on the ground provides physical, mental and emotional benefits for children and adults through the use of carefully supervised horseback riding lessons and non-riding horsemanship skills.
Physical Benefits
Horses' smoothe movements and gentle gaits send 134 vibrations to the brain through the spinal cord that increases muscle control.
Maintaining balance is the essence of riding. Horses are caretakers and they will not move forward willingly if they feel the rider is unbalanced. Riders learn balance sub-consciously yet the body remembers the repeated motion and incorporates muscle development into daily functions.
Horse riding improves fundamental physical co-ordination, posture and strength. There have been many cases of children and adults being able to leave wheelchairs behind having been involved in horse riding for a year or more.
Every student will improve their physical strength and co-ordination, guarenteed.
Emotional Benefits
The joy of being around horses brings out the deep emotional strengths that every person needs whether riding or working with the horse on the ground. There is a great satisfaction in feeling the horse respond to gentle, loving care.
Horses recognize their people and respond to every cue, intentional or subconscious. Students become aware of their emotions that perhaps have not been identified for years prior to their experience with horses and they are able to manage themselves truthfully with the help of their equine partner.
Every student will notice a significant positive emotional change of joy and optimism, guarenteed.
Social Benefits
Developing a relationsjhip with a large animal that responds to every emotion of the rider, good or bad, demonstrates the need and develops the skills for gentle citizenshiip within a family or social structure.
