Riding with ACTHA helps my horses be well rounded and learn to think through situations rather than reacting. It also helps teach patience, for both the horse and rider.
ACTHA is competition, but it is also a chance to trail ride in different places, often on private property that other wise we would not be allowed to ride on. It is also fun meeting different people and their horses. I am always recommending ACTHA to people I meet. Don’t be afraid to give it a try, it is causal, fun competition.
