People with physical or mental disabilities often benefit from horseback riding. The movement and warmth of a horse can loosen stiff legs, help someone train their abdominal muscles to hold them straight, and ease anxiety. As individuals progress and become more comfortable and capable with a horse, s/he may also build confidence. People participating in group lessons may also meet new friends, both equine and human. Therapeutic riding differs from hippotherapy in that the students learn to ride the horse instead of the horse filling in as a therapeutic tool.
