When you add this to the fact that there are many different opinions and ideas concerning just about every aspect of horsemanship, you realize why they are so enjoyable. Horse people are just like other pet lovers in their devotion to them. Horse people like the smell of hay, leather, horse sweat and just hanging our around them. Wherever you fit into picture you are welcome to join us and become a member of the Johnsondale Horsemen's Association. Our goal and purpose is to be a family oriented group endeavoring to promote horsemanship using the accepted practices and care of horses, with a focus on safety, education, and recreation.
Horseback riding is considered an extreme sport.
It has the potential of being very dangerous, so anything we can do to increase our skill and knowledge of horses will lesson our chances of injury. Horses are not traveling armchairs. They are very powerful, reactive, thousand pound animals with minds of their own and need to be understood as such if you are to remain safe and enjoy them. So whether you have your own horse, ride our ranch horses, or don't ride at all, come along and join us, share your knowledge and experiences and have fun doing and learning with us.
