BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
Therapeutic
riding
uses
equine
assisted
activities
for
the
purpose
of
contributing
positively
to
the
cognitive,
physical,
emotional
and
social
well-being of people with disabilities. It provides benefits in the areas of education, sport, recreation, and leisure opportunities.
Physical
:
Horses
produce
rhythmical
multidemensional
movement
that
recreates
natural
human
movement.
This
movement
facilitates the activation of postural control, balance, motor and sensory systems.
Emotional
:
Contact
with
the
horses
and
horsemanship
training
provides
a
noncompetitive
setting
for
learning.
New
abilities,
self-
discipline and improved concentration build self-confidence.
Social
:
Horseback
riding
helps
nurture
a
positive
self-image.
Riders
may,
for
the
first
time
in
their
lives,
experience
some
independence and a sense of being part of a team.
Weather working with a horse from the ground or in the saddle the benefits are numerous!
