By Ruthie Calderon


During leisure time people like to do things that help them relax or unwind. That is why you are likely to see people engaging in sports or entertaining activities like swimming, playing golf, racing, dancing, watching movies etc. However, some people take these activities as their careers and take the necessary measures to improve on them. A good example is people who seek or take horseback riding private lessons.

A simplified definition of horseback riding is when a person moves from one place to the other on the back of a horse. In terms of sports a sportsman can define it as the art of racing on the back of a horse while he or she controlling it. It is preferred in racing because it has a high speed.

Anyone can take these lessons, this include; adults and children. As for children who are under the age of six years; it is required they ride under the care of somebody that is their mom or dad or the coach because they cannot be able to control the horse by themselves. The lessons go for the whole week for some hours especially for young riders, first timers and those who want specific instructions as compared to expert riders.

There are a lot of benefits that people get through this kind of sport or activity. They are; it helps in coordination and stability; when the rider balance it provides stability and the strength used in the thigh and leg develops coordination. Another benefit is that a relationship starts developing between the horse and the rider; when the rider rides it more often, a strong relationship and trust is developed.

The last benefit among many other benefits is that self-esteem, courage and confidence is created on the rider. This happens when riders overcome the challenge of riding a horse especially if she or he is a first time rider and this gives him/her the will to want to overcome any new challenge that may come on his or her way.

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.

As much there are many benefits we have seen that accidents are likely to occur that is why it is advisable that a coach or an expert helps you throughout until one feels confident enough to ride by him/herself. It is always advisable that a new rider to always think of the benefits instead of risks and be well prepared by wearing the right protective gears in case of any accidents.
