There are not too many girls who dislike horses. Just about every little girl that you see is absolutely in love with them and has to own a large collection. There are a couple of reasons why girls love horses one reason is the all popular My Little Pony series. When youngsters watch that, they just have to own all of the things having to do with My Little Pony. The other reason may be how horses are portrayed in Disney movies. The female characters in some of these movies own horses, and seeing this makes these young girls want to own them as well. Many little girls want to go as far as taking horseback riding lessons, so they can enjoy horses in a realistic way.
If you have a daughter who is interested in horseback riding, you can get her enrolled into lessons for a reasonable price. Many areas have horseback riding camps where your daughter will not only be able to ride horses, she will also be able to learn about feeding them, caring for them and grooming them. These camps will cost on average of $200. If money is an issue for you, you will be able to find programs that will sponsor your child and enable her to attend such a camp. Sometimes, nonprofit organizations hold these types of camps, and children can attend them for free or low cost.
In these camps, children will learn about the different riding styles. What many do not know is that the riding styles used to differ between boys and girls, though now, both can ride the same way. During the middle ages, it was thought to be very inappropriate for a girl to ride a horse by straddling it with lag on each side. Girls were made to ride a horse by sitting sideways with their legs hanging over the one side. Now, girls are not made to follow such standards. Camps may also teach the differences between Western and English riding styles.
Most teachers will offer lessons to children who are five years and older. You will be hard pressed to find teachers who are willing to take on children who are younger than five. If you have a tot who wishes to experience a horse ride, you will want to negotiate with a local stable owner.
If your little girl wants to get really engrossed in the world of horses, there are some games she can play. Feed the Horses, Egyptian Horse and Farm Assistant among the most popular games that little girls love, and they also can help your child to learn a thing or two about having horses do tricks, feeding them and caring for them. In the game of Farm Assistant, the player has to do all of the things that are required to care for a horse. In the game Egyptian Horse, the player has to get the horse to do various tricks, such as jumping over a variety of obstacles. Feed the Horses is self-explanatory. The games coupled with horseback riding lessons will allow your little one to become amerced into a world of horses.
Horse riding could be a bit expensive. In case you would prefer more safe and less expensive options, a good alternative might be online horse games. As I mentioned in the article above, here you can actually play games like Egyptian Horse, Farm Assistant and I am sure your daughter would equally enjoy other girls games.
