Acknowledging that the partnership between horse and rider is key to creating a positive and successful training experience. 🐴🐴🐴

Training should take place in a respectful, structured and consistent manner, with clear communication between horse and rider to achieve sustainable results. Horses learn through repetition, correct schooling and positive reinforcement, building confidence, understanding and trust with every session.

The goal is not simply to achieve results, but to develop a willing, confident and balanced partnership where both horse and rider can learn, improve and succeed together.

Very interesting…. 🧐

“Recent scientific research shows that horseback riding improves children's executive functions (like self-control and planning), which in turn helps support and predict better mathematical achievement in school.

How Riding Helps Math SkillsBrain Boost:
The physical motion and vibrations from a horse activate the rider's nervous system, which enhances alertness and cognitive processing.
Better Focus: Regular riding builds e.g. self-control, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Better Grades: Studies on young children (ages 7 to 9) link regular hours spent horseback riding with higher scores in math.
