Duration: La clase de equitación va a durar entre 60 y 70 minutos.
Description

Con las clases de equitación pretendemos transmitir y enseñar los conocimientos que tenemos para controlar, entender y no molestar al caballo de una manera segura para el binomio. Comienzan con la recogida del caballo, del prado donde normalmente esta todo el día, llevándolo a un lugar para el acicalamiento del mismo (limpiar sus cascos, cepillarlo, peinar su cola y crin,...) donde vamos a conseguir un primer contacto entre animal y cliente. Al terminar esta labor, de aproximadamente 15 minutos, se le pone al caballo los útiles de montar (silla, cabezada, protectores,…) y al jinete/amazona los de protección (casco, peto protector,…). Seguidamente nos dirigimos a la pista de trabajo donde teniendo en cuenta el nivel de cada uno/a, empezamos montando a caballo realizando unos ejercicios de equilibrio u otros ejercicios de avanzado nivel. La duración de los trabajos en la pista son de aproximadamente 50 minutos. Finalizamos con un corto paseo por los alrededores del Centro de tan sólo 5 minutos, según el nivel personal, para relajarnos y disfrutar de otra actividad que también ofrecemos. El fin de las clases de iniciación es el de ir adquiriendo experiencia para tener un control y un manejo del caballo que nos haga ser independientes a la hora de preparar y montar. Para las clases de nivel avanzado el fin es el de total libertad y disfrute de las cualidades de estos animales y del control de los mismos. El 100% del importe será donado a la Asociación Protectora de Animales Las Riendas con el fin de ayudar a sus animales.
