[QUOTE="Jena, post: 149270, member: 4514"] HERRiding encourages: Cognitive Activity Sensory Integration Correct Muscle Tone Gross & Fine Motor Skills Increased Physical Stamina Proper Posture Independence & Social Skills Emotional Stability Self Esteem Vocalization Smiles Equine Therapy can produce dramatic and lasting benefits. Depending upon a client 's individual challenges, strengths and goals, equine therapy addresses special needs through a combination of factors: The motion of the horse and client 's efforts to maintain a balanced seat help to strenghten the trunk and spine. Because a horse's walking stride is similar in length and cadence to a human's stride, the pelvic movement mimics the action of walking and provides vital exercise for riders who cannot walk independently. The content of the session challenges clients cognitively as well as physically. Our long-term goal for our clients is to have them become independent to their greatest ability. E ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND COPIED AND PASTED HERE: [/QUOTE]
