At our leisure time it is good that we engage in activities that will help us relax and unwind and at the same time make us enjoy our free time. Activities such as dancing, playing tennis, hockey or soccer, swimming or watching movies not only helps us in enjoying but also develop our body and mind as they are a form of exercise. Some people go to the extent of seeking training for these activities in order to become experts and that is why some find the importance of horseback riding private lessons.

A simplified definition of horseback riding is when a person moves from one place to the other on the back of a horse. In terms of sports a sportsman can define it as the art of racing on the back of a horse while he or she controlling it. It is preferred in racing because it has a high speed.

The horseback riding lessons can be taken by anyone that is, adults and children. But for kids that are younger than six years, it is recommended that they ride with someone that is either their dad or mom or basically just an older person as they are young to control a horse by themselves. The private lessons usually run all week in certain hours which are mostly meant for first time riders, people who are seeking specified instructions and young riders.

There are certain benefits that the rider gets to enjoy which are; they gain stability and coordination- stability comes in when the rider balances him or herself on the back of the horse while there is coordination between the legs and the thighs. The other benefit is that as the rider continues to ride for a period of time, a relationship develops between him and the horse and trust is built.

The other important benefit is that it helps a rider gain self-esteem, confidence and courage. This is so especially for first time riders as riding can be challenging at first but being able to overcome it builds courage, self-esteem and confidence in that they want to face more new challenges that may be ahead of them.

It is important to note that though there are benefits there are also risks that maybe involved like a horse can race faster than it was expected and end up throwing the rider to the ground causing serious injuries or leaving him or her dizzy. Apart from racing fast the horse can become frightened of something as it was racing and throw this rider to the ground.

An individual might experience serious injuries and become permanently disabled if such a case happens. They might end up confined on a wheelchair and mentally traumatized for a long time which might be costly and damaging. They might not want anything to do with horses because seeing one will remind them of the experience. In some instances death might occur.

Though risks are there the likelihood of them occurring are minimal while the benefits are guaranteed that is why a first timer should not think so much of the risks rather concentrate on the benefits especially if they are under the care of an expert. All they need to do is wear the right clothes and know what to do in case something happens.
