PONY CLUB VILLACANA PHILOSOPHY

The ability to measure their actions together with their pony, to live the consequences caused by negligence or fear and the development of skills to cope with an animal, make this practice a unique sport, and like no other offers the possibility to experience a multitude of situations reflected in the School of Life.

It is this need for adaptation which inputs to the equestrian practice different effects; shy children will gradually gain confidence in themselves; gentle children will have to prove their authority to be obeyed by their mount; The overconfident child who believes to know what is to be done will learn to moderate his manner; indolent children will learn to take action and improve their communication skills; the child with negative tendencies and feels contrary to most things will have to learn that pony doesn´t grant wishes like an adult.... in short, it is a blue print to life itself.
