Equestrian sports or activities are not as popular as other regular games like cricket, football, basketball, etc., in Kerala. But it is still very much loved in many parts of our country as well as in countries like Germany, the USA, the UK, France, Sweden, etc. Sadhbhavana is thrilled and proud to introduce our new horse riding program into the list of courses we offer! Beginning in September, this course will be a unique opportunity for our students to learn about the art of horse riding from expert instructors at the Sadhbhavana campus. In this article, we will discuss horse riding, equestrian activities, the benefits of horse riding, and what you can expect from this course at Sadhbhavana.
Horse riding
Horses are magnificent animals that have had a great impact on the human race since ancient times; we have used them as companions, transport, and for war in the past. Today, caring for these beautiful, gentle creatures and learning to ride them are hobbies for many. Competing in equestrian sports like horse racing, rodeo, eventing, reining, tent pegging, polo, vaulting, and dressage is a main reason to learn horse riding too. Horses have been trusted companions for human beings all across the globe for centuries. Regardless of our race, we have managed to befriend these powerful creatures across continents. Sadhbhavana envisions this program to be a thrilling and exhilarating experience for our students. Here are some of the other major benefits of learning horse riding.
Boost confidence: To ride a horse, you have to leave behind fear and embrace confidence. Learning any new skill is a challenge, but when we finally learn it, its a moment to behold. Mastering horse riding, befriending a horse, and finally gaining confidence on horseback are all milestones of this journey, and it can greatly improve your confidence and discipline.
Exercise, build community: Horse riding might not be a substitute for your whole exercise routine, but it still is a very effective physical activity that can strengthen your body in the long run. Equestrian communities thrive across the world with community engagement, and learning horse riding at Sadhbhavana could be your opportunity to be part of a very community-orientated group that has interests in equestrian sports and activities.
Learn responsibility and companionship: Unlike many other sports, in horse riding you are interacting with an animal that has will of its own, and that teaches you a lot of responsibilities. While learning horse riding, kids will also learn to deal with and tend to horses safely, and as they gain confidence on a horseback, they will also gain the trust of a horse as well. Forming a companionship with an animal as magnificent as a horse will be a unique and beautiful experience for children.
What to expect from the horse riding course at Sadhbhavana?
Sadhbhavana World School is an oasis of purposeful learning and holistic education. The four walls of classrooms are not at all enough to contain the curiosity and creativity of young minds who crave unique experiences and knowledge. The horse riding course at Sadhbhavana is a program that takes our kids out of the classroom and teaches them responsibility, discipline, and confidence. Kids would be guided by expert horse riding instructors to interact and connect with these magnificent animals.
Just like human beings, horses too have their own unique quirks, so in the first stage of learning, the students will get adjusted to the behaviours of horses and will be taught the basics. Finding the right horse for you is also a challenge you will face in the initial stages of learning horse riding. The fitness of kids, duration of lessons, and how fast you earn the trust of a horse are all factors that can determine how long it will take for you to learn horse riding or be confident on a horseback. But with the right attitude and determination, anyone can do it, though remember that horse riding is not a definitive art; with each horse, your experience might change, so it’s a process that continues, and you can learn as long as you like it!
