Horse riding

Physical Education

• The student improved their balance and coordination through the physical demands of horse riding.
• Regular horse riding helped in building strength, particularly in the legs and core muscles.
• By learning to groom and care for the horse, the student also developed an understanding of responsibility and empathy.

Equestrian

• The student learned basic riding skills, including mounting, steering, and halting the horse, improving their equestrian knowledge.
• Through interacting with the horse, the student gained an understanding of equine behaviour and communication, helping to build a foundational understanding of horsemanship.
• By following instructions from the instructor, the student learned discipline and teamwork within the equestrian context.

Continued development can involve introducing more advanced riding techniques and knowledge about different horse breeds. The student can also start learning about horse care and stable management, which will deepen their understanding of equestrian practices and responsibilities.
