Pony riding is a popular activity where individuals, often children, ride small horses known as ponies. These ponies are typically gentle and well-trained, making them suitable for beginners. Pony riding can take place in various settings, including riding schools, farms, and during events like fairs or festivals. Riding lessons often focus on basic skills such as mounting, steering, and stopping. Safety gear, like helmets, is usually required to protect riders. Pony riding can help improve balance, coordination, and confidence, while also fostering a love for animals and outdoor activities.
