There are plenty of physical, mental and emotional benefits of horse riding. Even if it looks quite easy there is far more to it than only sitting on the horse and giving simple instructions.

You will certainly improve your body awareness, balance, and coordination. If you are on a horse for the first time you will probably get sore inner tight muscles. Riding, however, does strengthen many more muscles such as leg, abdominal, shoulder and back muscles. The faster you ride the tougher the workout. Horseback riding can be practiced done by all age groupers up to the golden years.

The first steps might be tough but don’t worry you will get there. No matter how experienced you are, there is always something new to learn.

Going for a ride with a horse is a fantastic connection with nature and animal. You will find it more and more relaxing along the road. It teaches you responsibility and your relationship will hopefully develop into a friendship over time.

Get a couple of instructions first and go step by step. It will be a great adventure for sure. It offers freedom, movement, and makes amazing feats of athleticism possible. And there is a total thrill with galloping across an open field, in tune with your mount.
