Is Horse Riding A Dangerous Summer Camp Choice For Kids?

Join us as we delve into the world of horse riding for kids, exploring its potential risks and the safety measures in place at summer camps.
The journey begins with a common concern among parents: Is horse riding a dangerous activity for children? Despite initial worries, my daughter eagerly joined a horse riding program, driven by her affection for a pony she befriended at the ranch.
This video not only captures her progress in mastering riding techniques but highlights the crucial lessons in horse etiquette-learning to interact with horses respectfully and understanding the importance of building a partnership rather than exerting control.
Watch as we uncover the transformative experience that horse riding can offer, from fostering responsibility to nurturing a deep connection with these majestic animals. Discover whether horse riding is a suitable and safe option for your child this summer.

Looks like a great lesson. I was considering it once but the wavier was a little intense but the weather was not permitting in our area but this was great advice

Thanks so much for stopping by again, @Ourhomeschooladventures. You totally got it; I signed the waiver without reading the fine print. I already knew it simply stated that they are 100% not responsible for any incidents (big or small). However, to be fair, the team at the ranch was quite exceptional. I felt extremely lucky on that. Continue to have a lot fun on your journey!

it is NOT a safe sport. also, your daughter may have incorrect opinions on if her horse was 'listening'. many children start out and think they're doing it right, but might not be doing anything right. these typed of horses are push button ponies, they don't need much instruction to do the bare minimum.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your perspective with us Daisy. It is in fact very important for us to approach horse riding with caution and not to become overconfident. We'll certainly keep that in mind. Thank you!
