Séjours colos 6-17 ans

Cowboys and Indians just have to be careful: your toddlers will certainly appreciate the western approach. But beyond this shortcut, which aims to attract boys back to pony riding in this sport, which has become enormously feminized, pony addicts will be served. The horse-rider relationship is in fact essential for successful western riding. All in simplicity, with one-handed assembly and long stirrups, they will learn the basics or improve themselves thanks to this original approach.

If the UCPA now wishes to offer western horseback riding, it is to allow a refined approach to this discipline. Western horseback riding imported from the American Great Plains makes it possible above all to offer horseback riding based on the horse-rider relationship. It requires more than training the animal, but real listening. Sometimes “at full speed”, sometimes rhythmic, sometimes between 3 barrels, sometimes on a criterion course, the tests can vary as much as the style and you will be able to appreciate the ease with which you will access them.
