Guest Post: Benefits of Horseback Riding

Welcome to Locally Grown! Have you met this month’s Locally Grown featured business owner Sue Leverick? Sue is the owner of Millennium Farm in Mundelein. She is here today with a guest post sharing some of the benefits to children of horseback riding lessons.

Many children express a desire to learn to ride. There is so much more to horseback riding than just the skill itself. Children will grow and learn beyond just the technical aspect of horseback riding.

5 things horseback riding lessons teach beyond learning to ride:

  • Care of another living being – learning to take care of their horses needs is integral to learning how to ride.
  • Putting others’ needs before your own – if your horse needs water, or needs to eat, it doesn’t matter if you want to ride longer; you have to take care of your horse.
  • Time management – children learn to plan their time to include the prep and clean-up, not just their riding time.
  • Organization – if you can’t find your saddle you can’t ride!
  • Team building and friend-making skills
