1 academic hour of horseback riding for one person

The horse became one of man's first companions in the animal world. Over time, horseback riding gained the status of a modern aristocratic pastime and laid the foundation for an elite sport. Today, horseback riding is divided into arena, hunting, and racing. In any of these disciplines, a saddle, reins to direct the horse's movements, and a harness are used. Controlling a horse is not difficult, as will be demonstrated by an instructor. After the explanation, you will be able to guide the steady and rhythmic movements of the powerful animal yourself. Horseback rides vary depending on the level of training: beginners can get to know the animal directly and try their strength in the saddle, while more experienced riders can experience euphoria by letting the steed go at full gallop past changing landscapes. Horseback riding in good company is a reason to organize small friendly competitions. Riding is a sport, but such physical activity is not accompanied by fatigue. On the contrary, the rider feels a surge of energy and receives moral pleasure from contact with a wise creature. Communicating with horses is calming and helps relieve stress—a proven fact. It is worth noting that hippotherapy—a system of therapeutic horseback riding—is actively used in a number of psychological programs to treat depression and other ailments, as every moment of such a ride charges you with energy and gives new emotions. The most vivid moments of a horseback ride can be captured in photos. Your archive will feature shots that will become a warm memory of time well spent.
