About this service
The physical benefits of riding take place as the movement of the horse is transferred to the passive body of the rider. The three dimensional swinging gait of the horse causes the rider's pelvis, trunk and shoulder girdle to react in ways very similar to those of a natural human walking gait. The gentle movement of the horse stimulates a natural instinct for the riders to balance themselves and maintain good posture.
Cognitively, the riders develop their memory, their ability to concentrate, communication skills, the ability to plan and problem solve. As the rider's skills develop their self-esteem and confidence increases and they are encouraged to set higher goals for themselves.
