Horse and Rider- a guide for beginners
May 6th, 2010
This is the story of Emily and her horse Bear. From age 7 to 13 we follow Emily as she progresses from ponies to her quarter horse Bear. It’s not about champions winning gold (at least not yet) or overcoming great odds: it’s a simple story that happens a million times a year. A young person coming of age and connecting with an animal. In return learning about themselves through their horse. In this segment, Emily’s instructor talks about her training and her natural abilities. In the rest of the program Emily competes at fairs and 4-H events. This is a great program for families thinking about getting into the equine world. To view the entire program look for it at your local library, if it’s not there ask your librarian to bring it in. Check out my channel for other videos.
