Tip: How to help your child feel more comfortable on a horse

When you grow up around horses, by the time you are an adult you can’t imagine your life without them and it no longer occurs to you that someone may be afraid of a horse.  However, when I think back to when I was a little girl, those horses seemed really big to me.  I could just about walk right underneath most of them.  I have to admit that I was a little intimidated at first when I hopped on for my first ride.  The uneasiness quickly faded but that was only after I was taught the basics of being around a horse.  Here is what I suggest when trying to help your child feel more comfortable around a these great animals.
 Teaching your kids safety around horses is the number rule. It will make them feel more comfortable around these large animals and keep them safe. Always keep a watchful eye on them and helmets are a must!
