ABOUT US
Proud Owner-Juanita Pienaar
Kuier By Sproeitjies officially took off from February 2021 by the proud owner, Juanita Pienaar. Sproeitjies our beloved horse comes from a small town call Hertzogville which is situated in the Free State, he has been in Cape Town for 1 year.
He came down to surprise a little girl on her 5th birthday as she cried for days, she missed her horse and so badly wanted to ride with her Sproeitjies again. Due to the costs to take care of Sproeitjies in the difficult time with Covid 19, I had to look for other options to help with the costs.
There were days I did not know what I was going to do, all I know is I could not disappoint her. I prayed and God opened doors, an explosion of blessings. I was so overwhelmed with his goodness and being able to teach other kids and seeing their smiles on their faces is the best thing that could have happened to me.
One never truly understand how therapeutic it is for kids to spend time in nature and with animals. I am tremendously grateful to everyone who has come to support us and continue doing so. I welcome you with open arms and I hope you enjoy your experience with Sproeitjies.
5 Benefits Of Spending Time With Horses
Life Experiences
The best way to learn important life lessons is through experience.
Falling off and getting back on the horse teaches children perseverance, how to deal with fear, developing empathy for the horse and that hard work produces success and rewards. These are valuable life lessons that will serve them well into their future.
It also teaches them to have a healthy respect for all living creatures and that patience and determination are key to achieving success. Dedicated children who go on to competing in horse-riding events will learn to work as a team and a variety of additional skills.
Enchanced Social Skills
Horse riding is not just about the bond that develops between horse and child but also about the social interaction that comes with joining a club or riding lessons for groups.
It provides the opportunity to meet and interact with others from different walks of life outside of school and their usual social environment allowing them to form friendships based on mutual love and understanding of horses.
Physical & Mental Health
Physical activity is critical to optimal child development and horse riding offers a unique, challenging, and fun means of exercise in the great outdoors that they can do with friends.
The bond that develops between the horse and the child can also have huge psychological benefits helping reduce anxiety and bitcoin vanity address cope better emotionally. Horse riding is therefore used as a therapeutic tool for disabled children and can provide the same benefits to children who are mentally and physically able.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
The ability to ride and control a big horse can give a child a huge confidence boost and improve their self-esteem. Every little success, the praise they receive for achievements, and the experience itself can be incredibly rewarding.
The strong bond that is created between horse and rider can also provide them with a sense of belonging which will also assist in increasing confidence in other social interactions. If they can be friends with such a big animal, there is less reason to fear other relationships.
Responsibility
There is a great amount of responsibility involved with riding and the care of a horse and this will be passed on to a child.
This sense of responsibility is often learned unknowingly though the child wants to provide for the basic needs of the horse such as feeding, grooming, and mucking as well as learning to pay attention to the behavior and health of the horse or pony.
It teaches a child to put the needs of the horse and therefore others before their own and develops compassion and empathy. They will learn the importance of discipline, respect, and a range of additional skills in a caring and nurturing way.
