Horse therapy – Children

Horse therapy – Children

Horse therapy is amazing as children feel safe because horses are not judgmental.  They receive pro-perception feedback and vestibular stimulation.  Children often fall in love with the horse that assisted them.  
One remarkable story is how Dillan’s life changed.
Dillan was 10 years old when he started complaining of stomach aches and nightmares. Dillan’s teacher started noticing that he is not concentrating anymore.
When the parents was approached by the teacher, they went to every Doctor for answers and help but their son was labelled with depression and could not see any improvement.
Horse Therapy was the last resort for the parents and at Oppistal their cry was heard!
Dillon was being bullied at school and had no friends. He started therapy and immediately bonded with one of our horses. Dillon felt safe and the emotional release he had was amazing and healing could start from the first session. 
Dillon felt worthy, loved and accepted. The healing with the horses in nature vs a clinical environment has a big impact on the road to recovery.
Children will be evaluated and go on horseback for their first session. Feedback will be given to the parents and solutions will be discussed.
Every session is unique as we are all created differently by God and the best therapy horse is chosen for your benefit.  We don’t want any background of your child before the session.  Parents are sometimes worried that their children won’t say a word.  Don’t worry – they don’t have too. 
Our therapy horses are well schooled and hand-picked for the best possible healing.
