therapeutic horsemanship

Therapeutic horsemanship is a specialized form of therapy that uses interactions with horses to promote physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. Through guided riding or groundwork activities, individuals develop skills such as balance, coordination, and confidence while also addressing issues like anxiety, depression, or motor challenges. The horse's responsive nature provides immediate feedback, helping clients build trust, improve social skills, and achieve personal goals in a safe, supportive environment. This approach is tailored to each person's needs, integrating principles from occupational, physical, and mental health therapies to foster holistic healing.
