therapeutic riding

Therapeutic riding is a form of horseback riding that aims to improve physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being in individuals with disabilities or specific health challenges. Qualified instructors guide riders through activities that enhance balance, coordination, and strength while fostering emotional connections and boosting self-esteem. The unique movement of the horse can simulate human gait, promoting physical health benefits. Additionally, interacting with horses can provide therapeutic effects, such as reducing anxiety and increasing confidence. It’s a holistic approach that combines physical therapy principles with the healing power of horses, creating a supportive environment for personal growth and development.
