Saturday morning training practice with McNab Riding School
The McNab Riding School’s training focuses on building confidence and independence in each of its athletes. McNab Riding School believes in the importance of training with the horse on the ground as well as spending time with the horse. This time on the ground helps athletes build confidence with their horses, and aids in their abilities to ride. Riders also gain independence as they are expected to prepare and set up their saddles.
This morning OVSO also got a chance to interview a few riders. The one common attribute that all of the athletes had to say was that teamwork was the most important aspect of their training. McNab Riding School has created an exceptional barn family and an amazing team atmosphere with all their athletes.
McNab Riding School has many plans for the future! Once covid regulations allow, they will be hosting horse shows on site which is super exciting for the athletes and McNab Riding School. As for current competitions, McNab Riding School athletes compete at local Derby’s in the Ottawa Valley but due to covid, unfortunately, these Derby’s have been canceled.
We, at Ottawa Valley Sports, want to thank McNab Riding School for inviting us to check out McNab Riding School. We want to wish the best of luck and success to all the athletes!
