Almost every parent goes through the “pony nagging” stage. It’s that stage where your child suddenly wants a pony for their next birthday and won’t stop crying until you either buy them one or let them ride one. 

When it comes to the second option, most parents are often skeptical because they assume that it’s a traumatic activity. Contrary to popular opinion, horse riding is actually safe (probably even safer than getting on a rollercoaster).  Horseback riding certainly brings a lot of surprising benefits on children’s development. This activity helps to keep them active while teaching them incredible social skills and life lessons at the same time. If your child has been itching to go horse riding, now’s the time to finally say yes and let them try out this fun activity.
