Is horseback riding a difficult sport? It may seem like all you have to do is get on the horse and... you're done. But horseback riding is more than just riding – it's about working with a large, strong animal that has its own personality and emotions. You need to learn how to guide the horse, how to "talk" to it, and how to care for its needs. It's a sport that develops the whole body, teaches patience, courage, and respect. It's not easy, but it brings a lot of joy – especially when you feel that the horse trusts you!
