Horseback Riding for Individuals with Disabilities

Horseback riding for individuals with disabilities, also known as therapeutic riding, uses trained horses and specialized programs to support physical, emotional, and cognitive development. The activity promotes balance, coordination, strength, and confidence while offering a calming and enjoyable experience. Certified instructors tailor activities to each rider’s needs, often incorporating adaptive equipment and techniques. This form of therapy can enhance mobility, improve motor skills, and foster social interaction, making it a valuable complement to traditional treatments. It is conducted in a safe, supportive environment to help individuals achieve greater independence and well-being.
