One of the largest populations of riders we serve has a diagnosis of ADHD.
➡️Our riders can have difficulties with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can impact daily life in areas like work, school, and relationships.
🕐Common challenges are poor time management, organization skills, and focus.
🩶Other challenges include emotional regulation issues, restlessness, and forgetfulness. These issues can lead to problems like missing deadlines, losing things, and trouble with social interactions.
Therapeutic/ adaptive horseback riding…
🐴How it works:🐴
🤭Non-verbal communication: The system of communication with a horse, which involves subtle body language, reins, and leg cues, helps develop a different kind of focus and connection.
🔄 Feedback loop: Horses provide immediate, non-judgmental feedback on your actions, helping you understand the impact of your behavior in a low-pressure environment.
🏇Engaged, yet calming: A horse requires constant, full-body engagement, which can help ground individuals who find it hard to sit still. The rhythmic motion of the horse can also have a calming effect.
