WHAT IS EQUESTRIAN THERAPY?

Equestrian Therapy is horseback riding for the disabled.By combining equestrian techniques with concepts ofphysical therapy, we create therapeutic riding for mentally and physically disabled people. Rather thanthe routine of other therapies, equestrian therapy ispracticed in an atmosphere of fun and sport. The riderlearns traditional horsemanship skills to control thehorse, thus increasing his or her self-esteem as well as improving their physical abilities.
