Hippotherapy

Therapy on horseback, not in an office.

With our Hippotherapy service, our therapists ride with our clients and perform their therapy on horseback. Studies have shown that horses movements actually provides for a more effective therapy. Hippotherapy produces many of the same benefits as our Therapeutic Riding program, but it is actually a therapy session that takes place on horseback.

Therapy That Works

Hippotherapy is a form of medical treatment used by licensed health professionals. Our staff includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech/language pathologists who can all use the movements of our horses as a therapeutic tool to facilitate each client's individual therapy goals.

More about Hippotherapy

Hippotherapy is a way for those with special needs to get the developmental attention they need from their therapy without the confines of an office. Many therapists prefer using hippotherapy because not only do the movements of the horse aid their therapy, but the atmosphere and environment are also very beneficial for their clients.
