YES! HORSES CAN HELP ALL AGES…
Research and real experience has demonstrated so many benefits from equine assisted activities. Horses can help with building interpersonal skills and better communication, and horses can help with confidence building and increasing self-esteem.
Well, horses can also help with providing exercise to increase balance, strength, and walking endurance for senior citizens.
Working with a horse is something that is hard to put into words. The bond and companionship that a horse freely offers can help an older person feel that personal connection they may have been missing.
Equine assisted activities may even help you rediscover some self-confidence by having such an amazing connection with such a large animal.
At LEAD THE WAY EQUINE LEARNING, we work with senior citizens at an easy, slow pace, and we create an enjoyable environment while having fun with a horse.
