Why Ride?

The term "riding" has many implications. It may range from purely pleasure to extensive study for the purpose of competition. The reasons you may have interest in this activity, we realize could be many:

• for the team spirit or the desire to compete
• for the exercise and the outdoor activity
• for the love of the animal
• to build self esteem and self confidence... or
• Just for the fun of it!

Whatever the reason, by far the greatest pleasure and satisfaction can be achieved, if it is learned under the instruction of a certified coach and recognized facility rather than picked up casually, good habits and sound basics are formed in the early stages. When under proper instruction, stands the rider in good safe stead, later in his or her riding goals.
