How
equine therapy helps:
Some of the disabilities and disorders that can be improved
with an equine therapy program include cerebral palsy,
down syndrome,
multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, spinal cord injuries, brain
injuries, attention deficit disorder, stroke, visual impairment,
and kids
rescued from physical and emotional abuse. Some
children speak for the first time while interacting with the horse
and the horse’s rhythm helps them concentrate better
and helps their balance with the riding.
The
horses help kids with emotional and behavioral issues. The horses
are a diversion to their issues. Caring for a horse is an
often-needed
respite for the person’s emotions and intellect. It offers
skill development by learning how to take care of the horses.
