Ot with a horse- the child rides and the therapist works with the child on and around the horse o do all the therapeutic activities needed using the horse as motivation and as another mode of input

What is Hippotherapy?

Hippotherapy literally means, "treatment with the help of a horse." Licensed therapists use the horse as a therapy tool. Hippotherapy doesn't teach riding skills, but uses the movement of the horse to influence the rider's posture, balance, function, and sensory processing.Hippotherapy does require a physician's referral and may be payable by insurance.

What is Therapeutic Riding?

Therapeutic riding (not the same as hippotherapy) emphasizes and teaches riding skills taught by North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) registered instructors. Lessons incorporate life skills and IEP goals in an enjoyable setting. The rider learns how to control the horse, giving them a great sense of accomplishment.

Who Can Benefit?

Clients with a variety of disorders, including but not limited to the following:

Cerebral Palsy Multiple Sclerosis Developmental Delay Traumatic Brain Injury Stroke Autism Spectrum Disorders Down's Syndrome Spina Bifida Learning or Language DisabilitiesYet, therapeutic riding and hippotherapy are not for everyone. Potential clients must be evaluated on an individual basis and a physician's release is required for all clients.

Benefits

Physical

Improved balance & Equilibrium Improved coordination Improved head & trunk control Improved postural alignment Normalization of tone

Physiological

Positive effect on respiration & circulation Positive effect on bowel & bladder

Sensory Motor

Provides strong graded tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular input Improved motor planning Improved bilateral coordination Improved spatial awareness

Psychological

Improved self-esteem Improved confidence Improved motivation Improved socialization

How Does It Work?

The horse's gait is very similar to a human's: the length of the stride, number of strides per minute, and the three planes of movement (medial/lateral, anterior/posterior, and up/down). For some of our riders, it is the first time they have been able to feel what walking is like.
