Numerous scientific studies confirm that horse-assisted interventions have a positive effect on general well-being and motor development, significantly contribute to the improvement of sensorimotor skills, social skills and competences, cognitive and emotional abilities, and address many other developmental challenges.
In our institution, Back to the Horse, we have been developing and successfully implementing intervention programs with the help of horses for more than 18 years.
