Why Choose Horseback Riding?
Compared to traditional team sports, horseback riding builds valuable life skills. Horses teach children:

Accountability

Compassion

Sportsmanship

Dependability

Bravery

Selflessness

According to the American Equestrian Alliance, horseback riding also supports children with physical challenges by improving balance, flexibility, and muscle strength. It helps young riders develop confidence and a strong sense of responsibility through the joys and duties of horse care.
