People cannot imagine how limiting life can be for the disabled and how few opportunities they get to take part in normal activities that able bodied people take for granted. Giving a disabled person the gift of learning to ride a horse, and being able to wear Toggi jodhpurs just like the other riders, will give him a sense of pride and importance. Some riding schools may be able to supply second hand jodhpurs and other riding gear for these youngsters. Having a special collection of second hand clothing from all the riding schools will make a big difference in the lives of these special needs children.
There are organizations that provide therapy to special needs children by bringing them into contact with and assisting them with riding specially trained horses. The therapeutic benefits that children with physical and psychological disabilities gain, is often made possible by volunteer instructors. There is a charity organization in South Africa who currently has 12 qualified volunteer instructors and an additional 120 volunteers.
Some horse owners are fortunate enough to live on a farm and be able to stable their horses' right there where they live. This makes it easier to take care of the horse and see that they are living a healthy, balanced life. Their stables have to be cleaned regularly, their hooves checked and their coats groomed.
The better the rider does this the more the horse will trust her. If the rider is insecure and fearful the horse will pick that vibe up and become skittish. That will be dangerous for both and needs to be avoided at all costs. When it is raining the horse has to contend with the rain in his face, looking out for puddles and being aware of his rider's instructions. If the rider controls the situation well, there will be little chance of the horse stepping in a hole and breaking its leg.
A panic stricken horse behaves instinctively and will go charging off with or without his rider if he is given a fright. So the better the rider gets, the more the horse will place its trust in her. This is not an overnight process and will take some time for a rider to get their fear under control.
It must be both invigorating and soothing to get up in the morning and go out for a long ride on the farm in spring when everything is coming to life after a long winter. Watching the countryside change from day to day and appreciating the beauty of nature at its best is good for one's soul. With the summer months the rains arrive and there are lots of extra precautions a rider needs to take during this time.
Many hours and lots of hard work go into the preparation of a team for the dressage, show jumping or gymkhana events. Both horse and rider must be in tip top condition. The horse's coat must gleam from the special grooming he has had and from the healthy diet he has been given.
The rider will be dressed to impress in her Toggi jodhpurs and other attire. Both rider and horse may go on to win a trophy or two, or perhaps walk away with all the trophies of the day. Confidence and trust, not fear and insecurity are the tools needed to create a winning team.
