问题详情:
Horseback riding has been popular for centuries for many reasons. Very early in history, horseback riding became a primary means of travel. In the very beginning, horses were used for fighting and hunting. Today, horseback riding is mostly used for fun and therapy (
治疗
). When choosing a horseback riding camp, you must first decide which style of riding you want to learn. American riding is generally related to cowboys (
牛仔
) and all kinds of competitions. American saddles(
马鞍
)were made to make sure that the rider feels comfortable and safe.
English riding, on the other hand, focuses on jumping, racing and horsemanship (
马术
). This style of riding gives the horse and the rider more freedom of movement, so the saddles don’t provide as much support and security as an American-style saddle does. If you are a new rider, you should think about going to an American riding camp.
Horseback riding is a great therapy for people of all ages with physical or mind disabilities. This type of therapy provides a fun environment in which people can practice new and old skills. The riders try to improve their skills. In addition, they can enjoy the feeling of being with other people in the camp.
If you’re looking for something a little different next summer, think of horseback riding camps, whether you own a horse or not. The experience and fun of horseback riding will stay in your memory forever.
