Horses are exceptionally empathetic, “wise” animals, capable of engaging people in difficulty in an active and enjoyable experience. Individuals with various conditions can benefit significantly from interacting with this animal if guided by experienced professionals. In particular, horse-assisted therapy, being a rehabilitative method with strong motivational impact and proven scientific evidence, should be considered a valid therapy for the developmental age.
This book addresses the subject of equine rehabilitation for children and adolescents, offering a historical overview and providing a concise and comprehensive description of its main aspects: operational methods and tools, the composition of the multidisciplinary team, and animal management. Based on the experience of the Equestrian Rehabilitation Center of the ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan, which has been working with children and adolescents with disabilities and horse-assisted therapy for over forty years, this volume represents a valuable resource for all professionals in the field.
