00:14.760 --> 00:16.780
- [Alexander] Tama Hills
horseback riding is back,

00:16.780 --> 00:18.450
and this presents a whole new opportunity

00:18.450 --> 00:21.440
for military members to get
out of their everyday schedule

00:21.440 --> 00:23.260
and do something different.

00:23.260 --> 00:25.750
- Being in the military
might be really stressful,

00:25.750 --> 00:28.470
so sometimes I think everyone
needs to take a break.

00:28.470 --> 00:30.920
So coming here, being with the horses,

00:30.920 --> 00:33.260
taking a really nice
trail ride into nature

00:33.260 --> 00:36.050
can be really good stress
relief just to come for one day

00:36.050 --> 00:38.490
here to enjoy the nature and the horses.

00:38.490 --> 00:40.410
- [Alexander] They have a
variety of different ways

00:40.410 --> 00:43.670
for you to enjoy time with the
horses and with your family.

00:43.670 --> 00:45.000
- They provide a soothing effect,

00:45.000 --> 00:47.450
a very relaxing, calming.

00:47.450 --> 00:48.290
The nature rides here,

00:48.290 --> 00:51.110
you can ride a horse for 40
minutes on the nature trail.

00:51.110 --> 00:53.660
Children can come and ride the ponies.

00:53.660 --> 00:55.840
So it provides an opportunity
to get away from the city

00:55.840 --> 00:58.310
and experience this tranquil environment

00:58.310 --> 00:59.500
that's here at Tama Hills.

00:59.500 --> 01:01.640
- [Alexander] The stables are
open Wednesday through Sunday

01:01.640 --> 01:03.060
with reservations.

01:03.060 --> 01:06.523
