Its goal was to help handicapped people in learning and physical development so they could return to normal life. Since then, doctors have been widely recommending it as a treatment method for children with autism, ADHD and dyspraxia. Horse therapy can help children with communication, behavior, emotional or social problems, physical and developmental challenges. At the same time, equine therapy includes much more than simply riding a horse. A trained therapist builds a vast educational environment using pictures, stickers, boards, games and other tools. And adds interaction with a horse, of course. It helps children to train a wide range of social, physical and cognitive skills in natural surroundings.
