Excerpts from Fall 2002 issue Riding Instructor Magazine:
"Riding lessons have been a time-honored tradition among kings and aristocracy since the Renaissance, and not just for transportation. It was recognized then, and it is still true now, that an education that includes horses is the best way to cultivate the qualities of a good leader." "By caring for an animal-getting to know an animal as an individual personality-one can't help but begin to feel something on an emotional level."
