Equitation is the art of riding a horse in perfect harmony with its
movements....
The professional trainers at the Whisper Wind
Equestrian Center offer lessons in hunt seat, jumping, combined
training, and dressage to riders of all ages and experience levels.
Riders have the option of using the Equestrian Center's quality school
horses or bringing their own. Lessons available include adult, junior,
private, or group. Series lesson packages are also available.
At Whisper Wind, we
strive to teach the many aspects of riding, always including safety and
proper care as our foremost lesson. We teach beginners how to safely
handle horses (grooming, tacking up, leading, and mounting) as a
mandatory inclusive part of any lesson program. We stress basic riding
skills, aids, and position at all levels.
The benefits of horseback riding are many. For the adult it is one of
the best forms of exercise, utilizing almost every muscle in the body.
Through riding, the body experiences increased muscle tone and
coordination, as well as balance and flexibility in the joints. Aside
from great physical benefits, the psychological benefits are many.
Riding can be a form of relaxation; many adult riders call it "therapy",
especially with all of the demands of today's world. In addition, there
is a great sense of accomplishment and confidence gained. Likewise,
children learn to care for and appreciate another living being as well
as learning responsibility, teamwork, sportsmanship and gaining
confidence in their abilities both on and off the horse.
