This article presents considerations regarding the educational benefits of horse riding. The paper attempts to analyse the relationship between the form of horse riding practised and the perception of the psycho-pedagogical values of this activity among people who take up horse riding in the Lodz Province. The research was conducted in early 2024 using the MS Forms online form. A diagnostic survey and questionnaire technique were used to collect the research material. The study involved 124 riders attending horse riding classes at several equestrian centres in the Lodz Province and secondary school students studying horse breeding in Łódź and Wolbórz. The collected material was subjected to statistical analysis using the chi-square test. The results of the study indicate that the riders surveyed notice a positive impact of horse riding on their well-being. The respondents also noticed that horse riding shapes a person’s character in a certain way. The characteristics most often mentioned as being shaped by horse riding include patience, responsibility and perseverance in pursuing goals. Respondents also indicate that horse riding can teach people to control their emotions. Statistical analysis of the data confirmed the existence of statistically significant differences in the perception of the psycho-pedagogical benefits of horse riding depending on the form of equestrian activity practised (recreational or competitive).
