Aug 4, 2019 | 3:11 PM

PRINCE GEORGE— Horseback riding can seem intimidating, but there are ways and places where you can ease your way into it.

Alicia Harper started Hylee Training in 2004 in Delta B.C. She has only been in Prince George for a few months, but says the horse community has been welcoming.

The Cowboy Challenge is for beginner riders or horses of all ages. A variety of obstacles were set up to challenge horses and riders, and also to build trust. Harper was there to assist and help riders and horses feel comfortable.

Some may think there are only specific demographics that enjoy equestrianism, but it’s something that can be enjoyed by anyone- even those who can’t afford to own their own horse.
