Horses empower confidence, promote healing, and provide a welcomed breather from life’s stressors.

The rhythmic movement of a horse’s gait is similar to a person’s walk. This motion tones tone and builds muscle groups, engages balance and core, and improves coordination and motor skills. For example, reaching out to drop a ring down a post works to increase balance and strength. Placing clothespins in their horse’s mane concentrates on fine motor skills. Riding backward provides increased vestibular input and completes a multi-step process to promote increased focus.
