ABOUT US
Equine facilitated movement therapy - physical and emotional connections with the horse heal body, mind and spirit. Equi therapy is based on the movement of the fluid in the inner ear. To be able to learn, our body has to observe and our brain has to organise and digest these observations. It has been proved years ago already that learning problems like low muscle tone, trunk rotation, spatial orientation, midline crossing, eye movements, attention deficit disorder and others arise from a disfunction of the sensory integration system; the organising of observations therefore does not develop correctly.
The pony’s three-dimensional, rythmic movement activates the vestibular movement of the fluid in the inner ear, which opens up the communication channels between our observervatory system and the two hemispheres of the brain. With toddlers more susceptible to the learning process, problems experienced by the child can by addressed through various motory development games being played on horseback.
