Rich Ranch Here’s a quick rundown of what


“growing up with horses” can mean for your child:


Wholesome fun. Horses make wonder- ful childhood companions. Children are naturally atract- ed to them, and that makes horses a desirable alternative to TV-watching, Internet- surfing, or just “hanging out.” Horseback riding also puts children in touch with nature, and can be enjoyed alone or in groups. When the whole family gets


involved, the time spent togeth- er with horses can enhance the bond among family members and become the stuff of trea- sured childhood memories. Moreover, the benefits of horse involvement are enduring, as a child’s “horse habit” can evolve into a rewarding lifelong hobby.


Character development. Handling, riding, and caring


for a horse or pony can develop a host of positive traits in a child, including responsibility, accountability, patience, lev- el-headedness, empathy, kind- ness, and self-discipline. In Dr. Anderson’s survey of


youngsters competing in 4-H horse shows, subjects ranked learning to do their best and developing self-respect as among the greatest benefits of their involvement. “The most important thing


I’ve learned,” wrote one 17-year- old study participant, “is that hard work and believing in yourself can get you anywhere.” Even equine nature itself can


exert a positive influence on a child.


“Horses can’t be made to feel


guilty, or talked into saying yes when they know they should say no,” observes Dr. Janet Sasson
