Hippotherapy is a unique experience that goes beyond simple horse riding: it is a path of physical, emotional and sensorial well-being, in which the horse becomes a precious ally in the growth and recovery of the person. Our sessions are designed to offer a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment, in which each participant can find their inner balance through contact with these magnificent animals.

​

How do the sessions take place?

​

Each hippotherapy session is a personalized journey, calibrated to the needs and abilities of those who participate. Our team of specialized instructors, therapists and veterinarians work in synergy to ensure a safe and highly effective experience.

​

1. Welcome and Connection

​

The meeting always begins with a moment of welcome and relaxation, in which the participant comes into contact with the environment and the operators. The first fundamental step is the approach to the horse, an exciting moment in which the first connection with the animal is established. Through physical contact, caresses and non-verbal communication, a bond of mutual trust begins to be created.

​

2. Preparation and Awareness

​

Before getting into the saddle, the participant is guided through a series of introductory activities:

​

Brushing the horse, feeling its breathing and perceiving the warmth of its body.

 

 

Learning to recognize its expressions and reactions.

 

 

Listening to the sounds of the riding school and immersing oneself in the natural rhythm of the place.

 

 

This phase is fundamental for everyone, but becomes even more important for those with special needs, such as people with autism spectrum disorders, motor difficulties or emotional problems.

​

3. The Experience in the Saddle

​

The central moment of the session is the therapeutic riding, which can take place with or without a saddle, depending on the specific program. The three-dimensional movement of the horse stimulates the neuromotor system of the rider, improving balance, coordination and muscle tone.

During the session, different exercises alternate:

​

Posture and relaxation exercises to improve body awareness.

 

 

Guided movements and interactive games, which stimulate concentration and motor skills.

 

 

Sensory paths and exploration activities, to involve the participant in an immersive and beneficial experience.

 

 

All this takes place under the careful guidance of the instructors and with the presence of support staff, ensuring maximum safety and serenity.

 

4. The Moment of Reflection and Farewell

 

After each session, it is important to take a moment of reflection and gratitude. The participant has the opportunity to:

​

Peast and thank the horse for the shared experience.

 

 

Share their emotions and sensations with the operators.

 

 

Receive personalized feedback on the progress and experiences lived.

 

 

This moment of closure and emotional connection reinforces the benefits of the session, leaving a feeling of peace and satisfaction.
