Under
the supervision of trained instructors C.A.N.T.E.R employs
Hippo-therapy and Therapeutic Riding, recognized forms of
therapy, for the treatment of individuals with physical and
/or mental impairments. Physically, the horse's movement can
improve and influence equilibrium, reflexes, coordination,
sensory motor skills and posture. Psychologically, Riding
Therapy develops self awareness, self esteem, self discipline,
and improves concentration. The bond between horse and rider
provides strong motivation for achievement like no other form
of therapy.
