Riding Academy....
Whether you just wish to learn to ride for pleasure or weather you have ambitions to one day go all the way to the Olympics, learning to build a good relationship with your horse as well as a good strong riding seat is essential. It is our belief that to have any lasting success at even basic horse riding it is fundamental to begin with learning some of the ABC's.
All riders who come to learn with us are taught the basics, such as:
Equestrian and adolescents:
The horse has the most aristocratic temperament - the chic appearance, the quiet inner heart and the spirit of courage and hard work. The people who love horses must also have such qualities. Immersed in equestrian sports for a long time, I raise my hands to reveal the noble temperament from the inside out. Horse riding is the most perfect exercise. It is a national sport that is not restricted by gender and age. It is an elegant sport that combines leisure, entertainment, fitness and rehabilitation. Young students learn to ride horses not only to exercise, but to hone their will, but also to evoke the hidden confidence in the child's heart, to enhance their ability to respond to complex environments and to resist setbacks, to alleviate loneliness and depression, to enjoy body and mind, and to gain a strong sense of accomplishment. Most of the long-term horse-riding people are young and cheerful, talkative, energetic, quick-thinking, broad-minded and generous, who stand tall and straight, body-building and glamorous. According to the American research report, the child achieves the improvement of perception and physical intelligence through the process of riding, giving the vestibular balance sense stimulation, integrating the child's understanding, memory and balance, and learning the characteristics of independence and self-confidence.

All riders who come to learn with us are taught the basics, such as:
- Check the girth is tight before mounting the horse
- Adjust the stirrups to the right length before mounting the horse
- Always hold the reins correctly while mounting and at all other times.
- Exercises for Good Balance and Correct Posture
- How to lead the horse and handle the horse on the ground.
- Correct procedures for mounting and dismounting.
- Staying safe around the horses on the ground and while out riding.
- We start all our riders off in a round pen until they have achieved good confidence and balance or until they can show us they have a good understanding of the basics to control their horse.
