What makes therapeutic riding so special?
The bonding between horse and rider
and the relationship with instructors and volunteers has been known to help
improve self esteem, self confidence and social interaction.
For the physically handicapped rider, horseback riding
gently and rhythmically moves their body mimicking the human
gait.
Studies have shown that therapeutic riding provides
the following benefits:
•
Psychological bonding
• Lifting of the spirit
• Increased attention
span
• Improve balance, posture and flexibility
