This is a sport where kids – no matter how big or small, rich or not – have the chance to “work, learn and be around horses. They learn about team work and sharing. Our kids today need that. They will also build friendships that will last a lifetime.

graceful in following the movement of the horse, their
rhythm improves and they become more confident
and courageous. In short, they truly become one with
the horse – the goal of all serious riders
