Therapeutic riding enhances health by improving balance, muscle control, and strength. The rhythmic motion of horseback riding mimics walking, promoting a sense of walking and stimulating passive exercise, which boosts cardiovascular, muscular, and respiratory strength.

​

Engaging in activities like grooming, learning about tack, navigating obstacles, or practicing dressage fosters problem-solving, sequencing, impulse control, concentration, and patience.

​

Furthermore, interactions with horses cultivate social skills and foster personal relationships. Horses form bonds without judgment, facilitating the development of trust and communication.

​

Ultimately, all riders gain self-confidence from the challenges and excitement of riding.
