According to the English Equestrian Federation, riding a horse at a slow pace of 30 minutes can help burn calories of approximately 360 calories. Horse riding also helps tighten the stomach muscles and reduces the buildup of fat in the fry area as long as it is done properly.

Refreshing is needed by everyone to get rid of fatigue due to the boring routine. By riding regularly, the stress caused by the pressure of work will decrease so that the psychological state is more stable.

Confidence can be increased by riding a horse. That way the various problems that arise due to lack of self-confidence such as anxiety and depression can be eliminated. High self-confidence also has a good impact not only on social life but on careers.

In Islam, riding a horse is one of the activities that can be done. This activity is explained in a hadith which means as follows, quoted from Islam.nu.or.id.

Umar bin Khattab has required the residents of Syam to teach your children to swim, and shoot, and ride horses.

The Hadith is in the book Kanzul Umal fi Sunanil Aqwali wal Af'al by Alauddin Ali bin Hisamuddin Al-Hindi and the book Jamilul Ahadits by Imam As-Suyuti.

However, it should be noted that the hadith about equestrians in Islam is mauquf or only reaches friends, not the Prophet. Thus, equestrian activities in Islam are not mandatory.
