CAS Strand: Activity
Core Strength and Balance: Maintaining an effective riding position (e.g., during the trot and canter) requires continuous, subtle muscle control in the core, back, and legs. This is active physical exertion.
Coordination and Reflexes: Learning to control the horse using seat, leg, and rein aids simultaneously improves coordination and motor skills.
Lasallian Principles: Quality Education and respect for all persons
The Lasallian principle emphasises seeing the inherent dignity in every person and fostering respect-filled relationships. Working with horses extends this principle to the non-human world, providing profound lessons in empathy and partnership.
