Horse Therapy Italy

Our association promotes hippotherapy in northern Italy. This video shows what we do and why we associate horses and social inclusion for special needs children.

We are a Movement that promotes equestrian activities in Social contexts, the so called Integrated Equitation, inspired by the traditions of hippotherapy and equestrian rehabilitation, but exclusively for its educational, relational and pre-sport aspects. At the same time however, it recognizes the importance of these types of rehabilitative activities.

PSYCHOMOTRICITY FOR CHILDREN: it is aimed at helping children with affective-relational problems, maladjustment dysfunction and generalized disorders: the relationship with the horse from the ground and all the activities that it is possible to do with it lead to a greater self-awareness.

Equine assisted therapy is a special therapy that uses horses as active tools in the treatment of mental or physical disabilities. Equine assisted therapy comprehends many different kinds of activities, and the limits that separate them aren’t always clear and defined. It is often referred to also as hippotherapy, usually meaning a horse-mediated rehabilitative therapy in which the patient is passive; this approach can be very helpful when dealing with some major neurological problems.

The Association operates in the north east area of Milan using multiple equestrian facilities in order to meet the needs of members and practitioners and to spread the presence in the area.
