Horseback riding is a sport that people of any age can participate in.  At first you may feel that just learning to stay on and steer the horse is a challenge.  When that becomes easy many more learning opportunities present themselves.  As you progress with riding and horse ownership you will always have questions and problems.  Even the most experienced equestrian would admit there is always something new to learn.

For many a horse is a connection with nature.  We find companionship and solace while working with horses.  Although riding can present its frustrations and challenges most people find it a relaxing pastime.  If you crave solitude, riding can provide that as well.  Many horse owners feel their horse is somewhat of a kindred spirit in tune with their own feelings and emotions; more so than any human companion.  In times of stress a horse can be a quiet friend, who is without judgment or guile.
