Horseback riding for a child aged 8 to 14 with training and accompaniment by a groom (1 academic hour) from a family equestrian club

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 explanations, you will be able to guide the measured and rhythmic movements of the powerful animal yourself. Horseback rides vary depending on the level of training: beginners can get acquainted with the animal directly and test their strength in the saddle, while more experienced riders can experience euphoria by letting the steed run at full gallop along changing landscapes. Horseback riding in good company is an opportunity to organize small friendly competitions. Riding is a sport, but such exertion is not accompanied by fatigue. On the contrary, the rider feels a surge of strength 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 get rid of depression and other ailments, because every moment of such a ride charges you with energy and gives new emotions. The brightest moments of a horse ride can be captured in photos. Your archive will include shots that will become a warm memory of a great time.
