"Hi my name is Connie and we are here at hearts Adaptive a riding center in Santa Barbara, California and I'm here for Expert Village. This is a small arena that we use here in the therapeutic riding center to teach disable and adults for horse back riding. It's a small riding arena they you may find in a regular riding barn we want the riders to be close to the instructor, sometimes the rider need a lot of help with leading inside and side walking. So the measurements are a little bit smaller then the standard riding arena. In a therapeutic riding lesson there is a few different parts of the lesson the first one these riders are demonstrating is warming up and moving the different parts of our bodies. These riders are independent riders and don't need any leaders or supervisors cause there very good riders already. But what you see in the arena is preparation for the game that is coming up which is going to be working on there balance and stability they can actually stand up in there stirrups, get there seat out of the saddle, they walk over the poles and a sequence that the instructor is going to tell them. Part of it is memorizing the sequence and also physically being able to complete the task."
