HIPPOTHERAPY

Hippotherapy takes the patient out of the traditional clinical setting and places them into a more relaxed, yet stimulating atmosphere in order to help them meet their functional goals. Patients are in a natural environment, which may help integrate their needs into everyday life experiences. Children, who are sensitive to being “different”, do not consider the riding environment to be a clinic. Please contact Abby Ferrin for information or to schedule an appointment: 435.649.3991 x617
