The horses are docile and easy to handle, so this activity is suitable for all riding levels.
Now, it is very important that you keep in mind that if it is your first time riding a horse or you do not practice regularly, it is very likely that you will suffer from irritation in the inguinal areas.
These scratches are very common, especially when riding for a long time. It is also common for some type of discomfort to appear in the sacral region or other areas.
Minimum age:
12 years is the minimum age recommended to carry out this activity.
There are no ponies, so children must adapt to the size of the horse.
