To prove our point, we’ve compiled six reasons why getting children off the sofa and into the saddle not only brings a great variety of physical, mental and social skills, which bodes well for them in the future, but how riding can instill many other qualities in children. https://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/business/licensing/view-registers-of-licences/riding-establishments/?entryid1052=161653

1. According to Public Health England’s 2015/16 latest child obesity figures, 19.8 per cent of children aged 10-11 were obese and a further 14.3 per cent were overweight. The figures also showed that 9.3 per cent of four-to-five year-olds were obese and another 12.8 per cent were overweight. The importance of getting children outdoors first starts with the physical advantages, and given the figures — it’s clearly important to get them involved as young as possible. Horse riding is a great way to get your children outside in the fresh air and keep them active. I like that when my children come home from school they don’t sit in front of a screen, but go out and ride or groom their ponies. I think this is much healthier for them both physically and mentally.
2. Lifelong well-being
The older a child gets involved in a specific sport, the less likely they’ll consider it as an important part of their lives, and the less chance you’ll have of securing their interest as they progress into adulthood.
3. Making new friends
Getting your children out into new environments is a great way to help them make friends. Riding can lead to social-life benefits and meeting new people that could develop into life-long friends. The friendships gained within riding disciplines are often life long, and it can be beneficial that children have different sets of friends to only their school friends.
4. Confidence booster
Learning to ride and care for an animal that’s twice their size can really empower children. It’s a great way to boost their confidence through encouragement and compliments, highlighting areas where they’re gaining new skills and rewarding them for showing improvement in these areas.
“I think teaching children to ride can be a wonderful way to bring out confidence and it can be a life long skill and passion,
Riding is suitable for all ages, and especially for children with special needs, interaction with horses can really help build their confidence.
5. learning life lessons
Riding is great for instilling an attitude in children that success and rewards comes off of the back of hard work. Looking after a pony is hard work when i was a child my parents wasn't horsey people so i learned at the local stables where there was a strict policy of mucking out and grooming before you was allowed to ride.Whole heartedley i agree with this philosophy riding was a privilege if you completed your tasks, and it really made you work for it and made that ride much more enjoyable and worth while.
6. Responsibility
the overall care of horses including feeding them and keeping them healthy teaches children about caring for others, dealing with horses helps children develop respect and discipline. it teaches children how to care for another animal.Learning to look after and ride a pony gives a sense of responsibility and accountability that stands them in great stead as they grow up.the value of perseverance and dogged determination ,hard work with the rewards of empathy how to deal with disappointment and loosing,while also experiencing the sweet taste of success are all the aspects that come into play.
