■For first-time visitors
- What should people who are coming into contact with the word horse riding for the first time do? You may be wondering what they do.
It is said that horse riding is the only sport that uses a living creature.
You can ride a horse and control it freely, or go outside and enjoy walks.
Since we are participating in sports with animals other than humans, such as horses, it is natural to feel confused and anxious.
We receive many positive comments from people who have experienced horse riding, such as "They listened to what we were told," "They were cute," and "They were kind."
You're probably thinking, "Because this is my first time riding a horse."
In fact, this is the horse's first time carrying people on it.
Horse riding requires a minimum level of technique, but most people should be able to do it.
As the saying goes, "Jinba to Ittai," the point is that communication between man and horse is more important than the sporting elements.
I believe that when you ride a horse and feel a connection with it even for just a moment, you will understand how fun and wonderful horse riding is.
■Various precautions
