Horseback Riding
Recreational activity that provides a unique combination of physical, emotional, and social benefits. This program emphasizes on horseback riding and horsemanship skills. Horseback riding is known to improve a rider’s quality of life by giving him/her the opportunity to interact and bond with the horse, instructor and other riders leading to a positive emotional and social experience all via a shared activity. In addition, these activities provide improvements in posture, flexibility, balance, muscle strength, attention span, ability to follow instructions, develop social interactions, self-confidence by overcoming fear and anxiety, self-awareness and self-esteem.

Horsemanship
New research shows that equine therapy might go a long way in starting the healing process for these veterans. At Horse Life Miami we encourage veterans to build relationships, improve their trust and heal their scars. Benefits of equine-assisted services for these individuals include strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, self-esteem, encouragement through regaining function and mobility and re-establishing social ties through engagement in team activities.
