All horsemen are familiar with the famous Winston Churchill quote, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." It seems 'Winny' had it right in more ways than he imagined at the time. Horses are indeed good for people. Not only do they labor on our behalf, horses stimulate our body and souls.

How does owning a horse make us healthier? We have all heard about the fattening of America  about 1/3 of us are overweight, and we don't get enough exercise. National guidelines call for 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise five days/week.

Riding a horse carries the equivalent calorie expenditure of a moderately brisk walk; trotting and galloping can increase that exercise level to the equivalent of jogging or swimming. Add that more pleasant activity to the effort of catching your horse at pasture, grooming, tacking and hotwalking and you have yourself a workout.
