The benefits of horse therapy, or equine mediation, are now recognized, whether with so-called "atypical" children, people with disabilities, sick people, or those seeking emotional peace.
The list is long, but to name a few:
- Effects on the musculature, on physical strength, on joint flexibility, on gestures and their coordination...
- Effects on sensoriality, concentration, self-awareness, self-esteem, relationships with others...
The mere presence of the horse has an effect on blood pressure and changes the heart rate of the person next to it.
