As PATH certified and EAGALA professionals, we customize therapeutic equine sessions for individual clients and groups. The horse's movements simulate the human's movements through the various gaits. This movement provides repetitive physical and sensory input, which can be either variable or rythmic, depending on the client's needs.
The horse provides heat and beneficial movement - stretching muscles and providing vestibular stimulation in a low impact setting. This makes it ideal for people with physical challenges, as well as people who are autistic, have been diagnosed with delayed development, even cancer survivors!
