Pride
Jenny has accomplished something very important. She has taken a risk. She has placed trust in my horses and herself. She has ridden when she was afraid to do so. She chose not to let her life be governed by fear. She has found something that she loves and, from all indications so far, something that she will become quite good at.
That is just one of the ways kids can benefit from learning to ride. Young teens, and especially those even younger than teens, often find themselves at a cross roads. They can take either path, the road that says Believe, Achieve, Succeed or the road that says Fear, Fail, and Hide.
That is why we work so hard at natural horsemanship--to become better people. Horses change lives.
I'm proud of you, Jenny!
