You Can Have Some "Me" Time
There are different kinds of meditation and we’ve all looked into their many benefits but it seems a difficult habit to cultivate. Well, I’d settle for some alone time riding through a ranch on a horse any day. For me, this is one of the best reasons to take up horse riding.

You Make a Friend
Your connection with the horse you’re riding is definitely significant. You two communicate, you build trust. It may seem weird but don’t knock it before you try it, yes?
