Smart Sport FC Kids Have Another Successful Visit to Urban Equestrian Academy South London

The kids from Smart Sport FC recently had another fantastic visit to the Urban Equestrian Academy (UEA) South London stable during the half-term holiday. The visit provided the children with a unique opportunity to experience a different type of physical activity while learning about horse safety, grooming, and riding.

“The equestrian industry is often seen as something of a privilege for those who can afford it, making this visit an even more remarkable opportunity for the kids who may not have had the chance to experience it otherwise.”

- Lamiya Jackson, CEO and Manager at UEA South London

The visit began with the children learning about horse safety, including how to approach and handle horses safely. They were then taught how to groom the horses, an essential part of horse care, and were able to practice their newly learned skills under the watchful eye of the UEA team.

After grooming the horses, the children were paired with experienced volunteers who helped them ride the horses. The volunteers provided guidance and support as the children took their first steps into the world of horse riding. The children were excited and thrilled to learn about the care and responsibility that comes with owning and caring for a horse.

The visit was educational yet fun, and the children enjoyed every moment of it. They were able to get close to the horses, learn about their behavior and personality, and appreciate the bond between horses and humans.

Smart Sport FC is grateful to the Urban Equestrian Academy for their hospitality and providing the children with such an incredible experience. The visit was a huge success, and the children cannot wait for their next trip to the UEA South London stable.
