The beauty of horseriding"

Horse riding is one of the most fulfilling sports. There is nothing more exhilarating than sychronising yourself with an animal that weighs about half a ton making you a team working as one mind, one heart, one soul.

The benefits for children are several. The horse becomes a confidence booster, a partner and above all a friend. Children learn to discipline themselves, to meet challenges, to care for, to become determined to succeed in whatever discipline in riding interests them and to embark on a unique journey.

Those as teenagers and young adults pursuing this further understand that the committment involved is great, the training hours endless, that 'practice makes perfect' is a sure under statement.

But you don't have to become a world class equestrian. You can enjoy spending your time with your horse whether it is walking along with it, riding it, going on trails, or maybe jumping a fence or two; and age is not an issue.

If you are relatively fit, want to unwind for awhile from family and work obligations and enjoy spending your time outdoors and connecting with nature then you will love horse riding. You'll feel young at heart again, you'll adore your horse, your new buddy, and the bond formed will become solid as a rock.
