Equestrian therapy

Equestrian therapy, also known as hippotherapy or equine-assisted therapy, involves utilizing interactions with horses to support physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Trained therapists work with clients through activities like grooming, riding, and leading horses, which help improve balance, coordination, strength, and motor skills. Additionally, the calming presence of horses can reduce anxiety and boost confidence, while the trust and communication fostered enhance social and emotional well-being. This therapy can benefit individuals with various conditions, including autism, trauma, and physical disabilities, by leveraging the unique connection between humans and horses to promote healing and personal growth.
