This therapeutic practice, also known as horse-assisted therapy, harnesses the profound connection between humans and horses to promote physical and emotional well-being.
What is Equine Therapy?
Equine therapy involves guided interactions between individuals and horses, facilitated by trained therapists. At Stella del Mar, our equine therapy programs are tailored for both children and adults seeking to enhance their skills and develop personal growth in a supportive and natural environment.
Who Benefits from Equine Therapy?
Our services cater to individuals facing various challenges, including attention deficit disorders, hyperactivity, emotional disorders, autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Through gentle interactions with our horses, participants experience a range of physical and emotional benefits.
Physical Benefits of Equine Therapy
The physical benefits of equine therapy are significant. Interactions with horses can help improve muscle tone, refine walking and crawling patterns, enhance balance and posture, and strengthen both fine and gross motor skills. For individuals with conditions like cerebral palsy, equine therapy offers a unique opportunity to engage in physical activities that promote strength and mobility.
Emotional and Psychological Benefits
Beyond physical improvements, equine therapy fosters emotional healing and psychological growth. The bond formed between humans and horses encourages trust, communication, and empathy. Participants often experience reduced stress levels, increased self-confidence, and improved social skills through their interactions with these gentle animals.
