Where to Go Horseback Riding in Mallorca
Horseback riding is one of the most complete sports: it provides great cardiovascular exercise, helps maintain proper posture, and strengthens the leg muscles, although the entire body is engaged in the activity.
The undeniable connection between the horse and the rider is another benefit of this sport, as it requires trust in your four-legged companion as well as in your own riding skills. This builds self-esteem and self-control just as effectively as it works the muscles. Humans and horses have understood each other for centuries, and today, this relationship is even used to assist children and adults with various developmental challenges, whether physical, psychological, or cognitive, in the well-known practice of hippotherapy.
