Ave. Mira, 119, VDNH, pavilion 48Individual program for each student
All types of equestrian sports are practiced here: horse riding, vaulting, show jumping and dressage. Free master classes are held regularly (see the schedule on the club's website). The stable is large, and the child, depending on his ability to stay in the saddle, will definitely pick up a horse of the right temperament. Almost all classes are individual, group only vaulting and horse riding. Children are accepted from the age of 7 and the training is carried out according to an individual program. The cost of an individual lesson is from 2200 rubles on weekdays, from 2500 rubles on weekends.

In summer, a city camp is open in the center.
Equestrian sports can be started with a visit to the pony club. About at what age it is better to send a child to school, and how riding training is useful, Workingmama tolddirector Riding Club of the National Equestrian Park "Rus" Leila Gusova.
In the process of practicing equestrian sports, such qualities of character are brought up like will, responsibility, tolerance for the mistakes of others, quick assessment of the situation. During communication with peers and with his horse, the communicative qualities of the child develop. The ability to work in a team is very useful in life. Concerning physical development, here equestrian sport has no equal. During riding, almost all muscle groups work, coordination of movement develops, as the rider moves in three planes. The muscles of the back and the press are strengthened, the muscles of the legs work well.
In the Soviet Union, children were admitted to equestrian schools from the age of 14. There were few schools, and the selection was very serious. Right now in sports groups On a pony, children are accepted from 6 years old, and in groups on horseback - from 11 years old. Of course, you can come to classes with children aged 3-5, but you need to understand that a horse and even a pony is a serious, strong and wayward animal. Therefore, when conducting group classes, children and the trainer are required to maintain a high concentration of attention throughout the entire session, and it usually lasts 45 minutes. For children from 6 years old, pony groups are made up of a small number of people.
The opinion of many parents is erroneous that a pony club is a ride for children in a circle. on little fat horses. This is not true at all. Pony sport, or rather, sport on horseback up to 150 cm at the withers (the height of the animal) is a separate sports discipline. Pony clubs are designed to educate young riders in dressage, overcoming obstacles, sports driving (riding in carriages). For the most part, pony clubs conduct classes individually and then, as the child gains experience, sports groups are formed. When conducting classes, ponies of Shetland, Welsh, Boelgian breeds are used. Sports ponies are so diverse that for each child you can choose the right four-legged teacher. Once children have acquired the skills to handle their pony, competitive experience, it is easier for them to adapt to the sport of riding and to the loads.
To attend classes at a sports school, you must adhere to a clear schedule. In addition to riding and training in the arena, there are compulsory classes in vaulting, in general physical and theoretical training. Parents should definitely study the route from home to the sports school. The route should be convenient and safe. When choosing an equestrian school, it is necessary to inquire about the level of the teaching staff of the school, the education of the coach, and his sports qualifications.
