We got very interested in your daughter's job...how nice!!! We love horse riding and everything related to horses...they are such intelligent animals.
We would like to tell you that in a city near our twon there is centre for disabled people where they work with horses in order to cope with people's problems. It is so interesting..it's kind of school where they have classes in the morning and in the afternoon they are in contact with horses.
In the following article we will tell you some specific information about it and we'll show you a video!
Therapeutic horseback riding, (also known as equine-assisted activity or adaptive riding) is used to teach riding skills to people with
disabilities. Therapeutic riding is beneficial for children and adults who
present with any of a wide range of cognitive, physical, and emotional
conditions.
A therapeutic riding program is often taught by a nationally-certified
instructor. In an equine-assisted activity (EAA) program, a certified or
specially-trained riding instructor teaches a person with a disability how to
ride a horse. However, working with horses can provide more than just riding
skills - participants can also learn companionship, responsibility, confidence,
leadership, vocational and educational skills, and may offer competition venues
in various riding disciplines.
Riding a horse provides a unique
recreational or leisure activity for many. There are many sports in which the
disabled can participate in to enhance their lives and attain social and
physical fitness (such as the Special Olympic programs, for people with
cognitive disabilities). Hundreds of programs (and many organizations) exist
worldwide which are dedicated to horseback riding or horse care in the context
of a cognitive or other disability.
