PRIVATE RIDING LESSONS

Dayspring’s private riding lessons program is for beginner, novice and experienced riders. Spending time experiencing the challenges and responsibilities of loving, riding, and taking care of horses, can be a life changing occurrence.  We truly believe horses, may be one of the best tools available for fostering healthy, well-adjusted children and youth. Here are just a few of the important rewards:

​

• Horses are the perfect antidote to today’s addictive digital mania. Learning how to ride a horse can become a welcome alternative to TV-watching, video-game-playing, social-media-obsessing, or just hanging out. A young person’s riding habit can evolve into a rewarding life-long hobby or even a career.

​​

• Learning how to ride a horse is a terrific way to exercise. According to the American Heart Association, about 1 in 3 American kids and teens is overweight or obese. Obesity now tops drug abuse and smoking as the No. 1 health concern of parents. Apart from its aerobic benefits, riding helps develop balance, coordination, flexibility, and much more.

​​

• Learning how to ride a horse is a great mental-health booster. To take control of a 1,000-pound horse requires skills that promote a person’s self-assurance and sense of competence.

​​

• Learning how to ride a horse is an excellent way to build character. It promotes such positive character traits as responsibility, accountability, patience, self-discipline, empathy, kindness, and much more.
