Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic riding is a form of equine-assisted activity that uses horseback riding to improve physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. As riders, you engage in structured lessons that help enhance balance, coordination, muscle strength, and confidence. The rhythmic motion of the horse provides physical benefits similar to human walking, making it especially helpful if you have disabilities. In addition to physical gains, therapeutic riding also fosters a strong sense of accomplishment and emotional connection with the horse.
Hippotherapy
Hippotherapy is a clinical treatment strategy that uses the movement of a horse as part of physical, occupational, or speech therapy sessions conducted by licensed healthcare professionals. The horse’s rhythmic, multidimensional movement helps improve posture, balance, coordination, and motor control in riders with neurological or developmental conditions. Unlike therapeutic riding, the focus is not on learning to ride but on using equine movement to achieve specific clinical goals. Sessions are carefully tailored to the your needs and integrated into a broader therapy plan.
