“RING OF FRIENDSHIP”
Equine Assisted Experimental Learning
and Social Communication is sometimes more difficult that you think.

The goal of this activity is to hold onto the ring together and see how far you can get without either rider letting go, and bottoms must stay in saddles.

I adapted it from a marriage counselor who has couples hold hands while riding, and they have to work on communicating, leading, and following.

My sister and I love to hold hands while riding and see how far we can go! It’s surprisingly hard.
