Riding has many benefits<\/strong> whether you do it competitively or for leisure. As an outdoor sports activity in contact with nature, riding boosts your self-confidence <\/strong>and hones the way you manage your emotions<\/strong> in contact with your horse. Riding also fosters early learning in young children’s development and helps people with disabilities or those in need. The fact remains, though, that horses are animals with their own way of thinking<\/strong> which you have to communicate with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a long learning journey that requires patience with the inevitable fall, and falling off a horse is all part of the job.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wearing a helmet is compulsory<\/strong> in some riding schools and stables to reduce the risk of injury, yet often neglected when you become an owner or amateur\/professional rider. While hospital admissions* are highest for horse riding, too many riders leave their helmets in the tack room relying on a special bond with their horse or an advanced riding level. Yet, when a rider and\/or their horse falls it can happen at random, such as tripping on an exposed root, a sudden lunge to avoid low-flying birds, etc. There can be many reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
