Horse riders need to wear a certain type of pants whether they compete or ride just for the love of it. Toggi jodhpurs offer a wide range of well designed, comfortable jodhpurs for men, women and children. It is important to the rider and the horse that the right clothing is worn.
There are organizations that provide therapy to special needs children by bringing them into contact with and assisting them with riding specially trained horses. The therapeutic benefits that children with physical and psychological disabilities gain, is often made possible by volunteer instructors. There is a charity organization in South Africa who currently has 12 qualified volunteer instructors and an additional 120 volunteers.
Some horse owners are fortunate enough to live on a farm and be able to stable their horses' right there where they live. This makes it easier to take care of the horse and see that they are living a healthy, balanced life. Their stables have to be cleaned regularly, their hooves checked and their coats groomed.
The reason riding therapy is so good for disabled people is that it exercises over 200 muscles in the body. Balance and posture is improved and it helps with fine and gross motor skills. Apart from the physical benefits, the psychological ones including immediate improvement in self-esteem are gained.
Sometimes when travelling to shows or competitions, the horses may be reluctant to drink water. The owner can try and overcome this by flavoring the water with mint or apple juice. There are also special products on the market designed to help getting a horse to drink water.
Looking forward to going to horse riding every week must bring new light into their limited lives. What a wonderful way to contribute to the development of these children and how rewarding to know you have made a difference in someone special's life. Encouraging our able bodied teenagers to volunteer at a place like this will give them deeper insight into a different world and a new appreciation for the healthy bodies they have been given.
In people's busy lives today, there are few who even think of doing volunteer work. Life is so busy, and everyone has their own families to attend to, but this would be a good lesson even for small children to learn if they are able to go with parents when they go and volunteer at these organizations. They would learn how to treat these children and to accept that it is okay to be different.
The rider will be dressed to impress in her Toggi jodhpurs and other attire. Both rider and horse may go on to win a trophy or two, or perhaps walk away with all the trophies of the day. Confidence and trust, not fear and insecurity are the tools needed to create a winning team.
