Horseback riding is more than just a fun activity—it’s a powerful tool for emotional healing, physical development, and personal growth. As part of the “Care and Empowerment for Widows and Orphans” program, Kuramaa launched a special horseback riding initiative targeting 80 orphaned children. This activity offers them a chance to build confidence, focus, and resilience in a safe and nurturing environment.
The Benefits of Horseback Riding for Orphaned Children
Building Confidence and Independence
Horseback riding teaches children how to lead, balance, and control a living creature, which strengthens their confidence and self-esteem. For orphaned children, who often face emotional instability, this experience helps fill the gap left by loss, promoting a stronger sense of identity and independence. Kuramaa aims to restore self-worth and hope through these hands-on training sessions.
Improving Physical Health and Balance
One of the most important benefits of horseback riding is improved core strength, balance, and posture. This activity provides a full-body workout and helps develop coordination—especially essential for children who may lack access to regular physical activity due to difficult living conditions.
Developing Focus and Emotional Calm
Riding requires attention, patience, and emotional control. These skills help children regulate their behavior, reduce anxiety, and gain inner peace. In an environment where stress and trauma are common, Kuramaa uses horseback riding as a therapeutic practice to enhance children’s emotional well-being.
