Adaptive riding or sports riding is aimed at people that require special adaptive equipment to practise horse riding. This equipment may include ramps, adapted chairs or special reigns.
Therapeutic horseback riding involves bringing the person and the horse into contact by way of preparing the equipment or grooming, under the supervision of qualified staff at all times. The activity is not specifically designed with horse riding in mind though users that so wish can do so. It is on horseback that the muscles and the senses are stimulated and pleasant and new sensations are awakened among most users.
Hippotherapy is a discipline aimed at individuals who cannot undertake any action on horseback due to their physical disabilities and/or cognitive psychological disorders. These individuals call for the assistance of an entire multidisciplinary team of professionals.
