Therapeutic horseback riding brings about remarkable benefits to its riders through stretching both mind and muscles. Improvements in posture, balance, coordination, muscle tone, confidence and self-worth are amazing. Spastic muscles relax and muscles not ordinarily used are challenged. For someone who can't walk, see, communicate or succeed at the simplest tasks, riding a horse allows them to experience a new sense of freedom; they are transported to where dreams come true and spirits soar.
