Just add horses

Have you ever thought about working as part of a dedicated team to help people with disabilities achieve their therapy goals?

Hippotherapy is the term used for how occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech pathology professionals use the movement of the horse as a therapy tool to engage sensory, neuromotor and cognitive systems to promote functional outcomes.


The therapy team includes: A specially trained therapist, horse handler, HorsePower Australia Coach, two specially trained support assistants and last but by no means least the horse.

Transform lives one hoof beat at a time

Join us for a Sundowner and Introduction to Hippotherapy event on Friday 2nd July 2021 from 5.30pm - 8.30pm. This event is open to anyone who is curious about hippotherapy and wants to find out more.

Really enjoyed reading "Hippotherapy Workshop", and it gave me a useful reminder to stay intentional. The youtube playlist time angle was especially helpful for what I'm working on. One line that stuck with me was: Hippotherapy Workshop Apr 21, 2020 1 min read Updated: May 8, 2021. Looking forward to reading more like this.

I had no idea the horse's movement itself is the therapy tool, not just riding for fun. The team setup with six people sounds like a lot, but I guess that's what it takes. I checked out Krillion after reading this and it cleared up a few things for me before I register.

Bài của bạn trình bày ngắn gọn mà dễ hiểu, mình đọc liền một lượt là nắm được ý, cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ. Mình thì ngày nào cũng có thói quen xem thống kê XSMB, nhưng trước giờ cứ phải mở nhiều chỗ để so lại nên hơi mất thời gian. Thế là mình tự gom các thông tin cần thiết vào một chỗ cho tiện theo dõi, kiểu khi cần chỉ việc mở ra là xem ngay, lưu lại cũng đỡ quên. Mình để chung trên một trang ở soicau247.com để lúc muốn tra nhanh thì quay lại, khỏi phải nhớ từng nguồn lặt vặt. Bạn nào cũng hay cập nhật số liệu theo ngày như mình…

This is such a valuable initiative—combining occupational, physical, and speech therapy through the natural movement of horses sounds incredibly effective. Hoping to make it to the July workshop at Peel!
