Okay kiddo, challenge riding is like a game where you try to do really cool and difficult things on a horse, like jumping over obstacles or doing fancy dressage moves. You and your horse work together to complete the challenges and every time you do, it makes both of you stronger and better at riding.
Sometimes, people might set up a course with different obstacles or challenges that you have to navigate through. For example, you might have to jump over a series of jumps, weave through cones, or even carry a flag while riding your horse.
The really cool thing about challenge riding is that it can help you learn to trust your horse and develop a strong partnership with them. Plus, it's a lot of fun to see how much you and your horse can accomplish together!
