Hippotherapy positively affects muscle tone, core muscles, trunk-spine and pelvic muscles, posture, balance and sensory stimulation — in addition to the powerful psychological effect of bonding with horses.
The horse's rhythmic, repetitive movement closely mimics the human gait, giving riders with Down syndrome or cerebral palsy thousands of natural movement inputs in a single session. Our licensed therapists incorporate that movement into an individualized plan of care, carefully grading each session to your child's size, abilities and personality.
