Health benefits of horseback riding::
Body Awareness
Horseback riding really works the core muscles that stabilize the trunk. The more you ride, the more the body learns to move with the horse.
Quick Thinking
Riding a large, powerful animal with a mind and agenda of its own is a full-body workout that will force you to engage muscles you didn’t know existed and be constantly adjusting to the form of the animal.
Coordination
There are many movements that need to happen simultaneously while riding for the horse to be properly guided- this is what coordination consists of.
Core Strength
Horseback riding is an isometric exercise, which means it uses specific muscles to stay in certain positions, in this case, keeping balanced on the horse.
Muscle Tone and Flexibility
Along with the core muscles, the inner thighs and pelvic muscles get the biggest workout as a rider positions himself or herself.
Mental exercise
While horseback riding is a great exercise, there is a real benefit i the connection with the animal and the peace of mind that comes with every ride.
