Pleasure riding is a recreational activity where individuals ride horses for enjoyment rather than for work or competition. It can take place in various settings, such as parks, trails, or arenas, and is often enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. Riders may choose to ride alone or in groups, and the experience can be enhanced by the natural surroundings. This activity can involve different riding styles, including English riding and Western riding. Riders often prioritize the comfort and well-being of their horses, ensuring they are well cared for and trained. Pleasure riding promotes a bond between horse and rider, fostering a sense of companionship.
