Equine Therapy 

Equine therapy is a unique branch of therapy that allows people to seek relief from mental health problems by spending time riding and communicating with horses. This form of therapy has been proven to be helpful for managing conditions like anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD, so if you or a loved one are struggling with any of these issues, equine therapy could be a great help.

​

Equine therapy is also used to help children and adults who suffer from various motor learning difficulties. For example many children with dyspraxia (also known as clumsy child styndrome) benefit from display improved cognition, mood, and gait parameters through the stimulation they receive from horse riding.

​

One of the most important aspects of equine therapy – or, indeed, any form of animal therapy – is the bond that is created between the animal and the patient. While it’s true that a traditional therapist will develop a special relationship with their patients, the relationship that’s formed between an animal and a human is unique and, in some ways, more beneficial.
