Why the Horse?

Adapted from the American Hippotherapy Association

The multidimensional movement of the horse provides systems-wide impact on human neurophysiology.

The motor and sensory input is coupled and highly organized.

The movement can be manipulated in many ways to address an extremely broad range of system impairments - including:

  • cognition
  • speech/language
  • sensory processing nervous/limbic
  • circulatory, respiratory, motor and musculoskeletal systems

The benefits of speech therapy are myriad, and include

  • impacting sensory processing
  • listening comprehension
  • oral expression
  • oral motor
  • critical thinking
  • social awareness
  • being able to make inferences and draw conclusions
  • cause and effect determination
  • make predictions
  • effectively sharing spaces with others

The communicative bond and relationship with the horse regulates systems to open up the social pathway.
