Today, when in the world we have a growing problem of lack of empathy,
and when the progress of civilization has led to a great
majority of the time trapped behind the screen and in different virtual
worlds, it is important to show the children that there are other values
and healthier quality of life.
Riding school for children conceived as a small school in nature with
the help of horses encourages children to activity, creativity and the
development of positive qualities of mind and character.Children
with basics of balance on the horse in walk and trot, also acquire the knowledge
and skills abot the horses in which include: eating habits of horses,
the social life of a horse in a herd, the basic needs of the horse,
learn about the horses and learn to behave properly around the horses. They learn how to approach a horse, take a horse, groom, clean hooves
and properly saddle and also adjust equipment to the horse and to themself.They have a chance to see the horses in their natural environment and under the supervision and proper guidance they can socialize with them.Staying in a healthy environment with horses with proper operation and
guidance, helps to focus the children who have more difficulties to concentrate and easy to
lose focus. Children and children with low
self-esteem helped to become more open and more confident.Riding stimulates and strengthens muscles and helps proper growth and development of the child.
In a small riding school emphasis is on respect and the development of
empathy for all living beings and respect for the horse as an animal
which also has a personality and feelings.Classes are designed to work with a group of children, except for the
parts of the riding or keeping horses where the child learns individually with a
coach or companion.Regardless of earlier knowledge group moves from the basics and over
time teacher adapts content to the knowledge, skills and abilities of the group, also in the
riding and working with horses to every child individually.
In order to develop relationships and trust between horse and child,

sense of movement of horses and synchronization with horse movement.Children learn how to run a horse in gait and later in the trot and how to slow down or stop. Master the movements of the horse turn.The emphasis is on the use of the seat, balance and body position so
