Children learn patience, respect, compassion, and how to give direction when they are involved with horses. Horseback riding lessons are a great way to build your childs character. Here 7 yr old Natalie is taking a lesson on 7 yr old Willow who is not being all that cooperative as you can see in this video. Still Natalie learned to be consistant, persevere, and to be gentle yet firm with her cues and directions. Through hard work and patience by the end of the video they are a great team working together and really making progress. It is rewarding even for children! Enjoy!
