| The
gentle rhythmic motion of a horse stimulates the body and works the
muscles of the rider in a manner similar to the human stride. Because
the horse's gait is similar to the human walk, this particular therapy
strengthens and supports the natural motion of the spine and pelvis.
Riding and the living interaction between horse, student, and staff,
foster self-confidence, trust, and the pride that comes from mastering
a new skill. The team, which includes horse and human, helps in the
healing of the patient with special needs. Every member of the team is
chosen carefully and specially trained to perform this very important
job. |

| Benefits
of our program include improved confidence, and self esteem, balance,
flexibility, range of motion, muscle tone and strength, behavior,
ability to stay on task, quality of movement, and decreased need for
medication. Research shows that those who participate in hippotherapy
and therapeutic riding can experience physical, emotional, and mental
rewards. A special bond is established between horse and rider which
encourages unconditional love, trust, and self-worth. This bond is an
integral part of our program. The unique relationship formed with a
horse can help improve interpersonal relationships. All riders can
benefit from increased confidence and coping skills. |
