Equine therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses interaction with horses to improve people's physical, emotional, and cognitive health. It works through several modalities, depending on the patient's goals.
Types of therapy with horses
Physiotherapy:
It aims to enhance mobility and coordination in individuals with physical or neurological disabilities.
Therapeutic riding:
This part of equine therapy supports emotional, social, and cognitive development, promoting autonomy and self-esteem.
Equine-assisted psychotherapy:
Used to address emotional and behavioral challenges, focusing on the development of emotional intelligence and self-confidence.
How does it work ?
1. Patient evaluation:
The condition and specific needs of each patient are analyzed to design an appropriate therapy plan.
2. Interaction with the horse:
Interactions may encompass activities such as riding, grooming, feeding, or simply spending time in the horse's presence.
3. Physical and sensory stimulation:
Riding a horse helps improve balance, coordination and muscle strength, as the animal's movement simulates human walking.
4. Emotional and cognitive benefits:
The connection with the horse fosters trust, patience and stress reduction, which helps in cases of anxiety, autism, depression or trauma.
5. Teamwork:
Therapeutic work often involve structured exercises led collaboratively by a licensed therapist and a certified equestrian instructor, ensuring both safety and efficacy throughout the process.
