FROM A PARENT:
One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to ride horses?" Well I have a confession to make, I don't pay for my kids to ride horses.
So, if I am not paying for them to ride, what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't.
- I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go to the yard but go anyway.
- I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined.
- I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body.
- I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates.
- I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that score they'd hoped for, but still have to work hard in the grading.
- I pay for my kids to learn to make and accomplish goals.
- I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight.
- I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships.
- I pay so that my kids can be in the arena instead of in front of a screen...
...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for horse riding, I pay for the opportunities that horse riding provides my kids with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!

Our first beach ride with our adult riders on Friday night, horses & riders had a great time despite the rain! How lucky are we to have this on our door step!
After an afternoon bath, Ringo couldn't wait to return to his normal slightly grubby self! This was roll number two and first one only dirtied one side!
Riding to "live" music, not added later, helps riders work on rhythm and the horses seem to react to it too! This is yesterday morning's ladies group. 😊
Percy and Ringo having a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!" moment before rugging up time! 😍
A short video with cameo appearance from the lovely Ali! ☺️
Percy was fast asleep yesterday morning, resting his nose on the grass! 😴💤
Please observe how clean Ringo was before he dropped and rolled as soon as he was in the field tonight! 😮 More work tomorrow! 😅
Archie and Pearl loving having no rugs on yesterday! You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!
