By Ruthie Calderon


People like fun and entertaining activities that can help them relax and unwind during their leisure time. Those activities could be dancing, watching movies, playing soccer, swimming etc. Some people however want to perfect their skills in these activities that they go ahead and get training from professionals. A good example is when people find the need of horseback riding private lessons.

The definition of horseback riding can simply be put as the art of using a horse to move from one place to the other while riding on its back. In terms of sport it can be defined as the ability to control an animal, which in this case it is a horse, while riding on its back especially during racing. It is liked by sportsmen in racing cause of its fast speed.

The horseback riding lessons can be taken by anyone that is, adults and children. But for kids that are younger than six years, it is recommended that they ride with someone that is either their dad or mom or basically just an older person as they are young to control a horse by themselves. The private lessons usually run all week in certain hours which are mostly meant for first time riders, people who are seeking specified instructions and young riders.

There are certain benefits that the rider gets to enjoy which are; they gain stability and coordination- stability comes in when the rider balances him or herself on the back of the horse while there is coordination between the legs and the thighs. The other benefit is that as the rider continues to ride for a period of time, a relationship develops between him and the horse and trust is built.

Among many other benefits one important one is why the rider is able to overcome the challenge of riding especially if he/she is a first timer. It is challenging as there is a lot of fear associated with riding a horse so being able to overcome this challenge self-esteem, courage and confidence is created and also a positive mindset in wanting to face new other challenges.

However risks are involved. Risks that might occur when a horse races fast than it was expected and makes the rider fall due to losing control or becoming dizzy or falling because the horse become frightened of something on its way.

The rider can be injured seriously both physically and mentally like in a case where he/she has to be confide to a wheelchair for a long time due to the accident. It can cause the individual to be traumatized that they might not want anything to do with this animal again because it might remind them of that incident.

Such accidents are likely to occur but can be avoided but the benefits are a must and are guaranteed that is why a new rider should not focus on the risk that much, what they need to do is wear the appropriate clothes needed for this activity and be guided by a professional.
