Therapeutic Riding Provides Both Cognitive And Physical Benefits
The thing about riding therapy is that it brings multiple benefits through a holistic approach. This means that it can be effective for a range of different children and adults. For those with physical limitations, the act of riding can improve balance and core strength, which can be a significant help if they require locomotive aid or assistance. Connecting with another living being can also work to inspire empathy, starting with first learning the name of their horse.
