What type of disabilities does Therapeutic Riding aim to assist?

Therapeutic Riding is designed to assist individuals with a wide variety of disabilities, encompassing both physical and mental challenges. The equine-assisted activities focus not only on improving physical strength, coordination, and balance for those with physical disabilities but also aim to enhance emotional and cognitive aspects for individuals with mental health issues or developmental challenges. Riding can offer sensory integration, motor skills development, and increased self-esteem for participants, regardless of their specific disabilities. This comprehensive approach makes it an inclusive form of therapy, addressing the needs of a diverse group of individuals rather than being limited to just one category of disability.
