Equine Assisted Therapy Articles
Therapeutic horseback riding, also known as an equine-assisted activity, including hippotherapy, is for individuals with a range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social special needs.
Forms of equine-assisted therapy include hippotherapy, in which a certified therapist uses the horse as a therapeutic tool, and equine-facilitated psychotherapy in which a certified mental health professional uses the horse in various ways for therapeutic benefit. Hippotherapy is a treatment strategy used by occupational, physical and speech therapists. The movement of the horse is carefully modulated to influence neuromuscular changes in the client.
