THE MOVEMENT OF THE HORSE
The gait of a horse is repetitive, rhythmical, symmetrical and three-dimensional.  This movement can provide numerous benefits to the rider such as:
  Mobility to pelvis and spine
  Improvement in posture and muscle tone
  Improve balance and coordination 
  Strength and flexibility
  Facilitation of speech and language

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN  HORSE AND RIDER
The human-animal bond, non-verbal communication and success oriented activities promote emotional and cognitive benefits such as:
 Improved self-esteem
 Increased attention span
 Increased motivation
 Increased self-confidence
 Enriched experience in sport and recreation
