WHAT DO WE DO?
We provide horseriding therapy (hippotherapy) to those with special needs.
Hippotherapy has proven to be effective therapy for certain physical
disabilities such as cerebral palsy by helping beneficiaries to improve their
muscle tone, motor functions and co-ordination. For those with cognitive
disabilities such as autism, we have seen improved social skills and sensory
sensitivity as a result of hippotherapy.
OUR IMPACT
More than 80% of our beneficiaries have improved
physical-motor functions.
More than 90% of our beneficiaries have improved
psycho-social functions.
More than 90% of parents, caregivers, teachers,
therapists say that our programmes are beneficial.
