What is Horse Therapy?

Horse Therapy encompasses a range of treatments that involve activities with horses to promote human physical and mental health.

An overall term that encompasses all forms of equine therapy is Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapy (EAAT). Various therapies that involve interactions with horses for individuals with and without special needs, including those with physical, cognitive, and emotional issues.

Therapeutic Horse Riding

Therapeutic Horse Riding is a complementary therapy that stimulates the entire body of the patient. The patient, regardless of age, when on top of  the horse increase their self-esteem, enjoy the therapy and when accompanied by a combination of other therapies (music, massage therapy, coordination, sensory therapy, psychotherapy, etc.. ) during the riding period increases the patient’s rehabilitation.

There is no “standard” set of exercises Equine Therapy. Various exercises are recommended to stimulate different body areas, organs or muscle groups. Each patient must be treated according to their specific problem, The therapy requires rhythm, dexterity and contact so the exercise program undergoes continual adjustment depending on progress and medical conditions, the monitoring of which helps to increase efficiency and progress. The therapy should be considered in the same way as a “made to measure” tailored suit that is specifically designed for each patient’s requirements.

The simple act of sitting on top of a horse enables a passive therapy. In order to get a higher degree of rehabilitation, exercises must be performed by the patient during the therapy period via external stimuli and incentives such as the horse’s pace, the position of the patient on the horse etc., these are factors that influence and determine the effectiveness of this active therapy.

Along with the number of ways horses are beneficial to the mental and physical well being of humans, they also create a fun sense of community where people can come and connect to nature. Horses can help people with their everyday life skills as well as helping those in need of rehabilitation.
