Equine-assisted instructor
Description
Equine therapists design, create and deliver therapeutic activities, based on the potential of horses and horse riding as a work method and instrument in order to improve the physical, mental, sensory and social recovery of people with disabilities or social maladjustment issues. These activities may be independent, or may serve to complement others, as part of a wider social or health-care programme. This variety of therapy is aimed at people who, owing to their disability or condition, are unable to ride or control horses themselves. As such, there is always a qualified riding instructor to control the horse and the equine therapist is always there by the person's side.
