Why it Matters
Learning to ride is a rite of passage—and we want every child to feel that joy. With the right support, they can. Riding can be a fun and rewarding activity, offering a way to exercise, explore your surroundings, and connect with others. Learning to ride can help to foster independence, improve gross motors skills, boost self-confidence and promote greater social interaction. Riding is a really fun way to exercise that may help reduce anxiety and the Oscars100 Learn To Ride program is another great way to bring the family units closer together through shared experience.
