Some benefits of Animal Assisted Interactions

Through activities and other types of care for a specific horse or dog, patients are able to put aside the absorbing focus of their illness and instead to direct their attention and interests outwardly toward safe and caring interactions.

The Benefits of Horses

Horseback riding promotes increased balance, coordination, mobility, strength, postural control, and communication.  Our clients benefit from physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as mental and emotional development, while they are interacting with our horses.
