This isn’t a pony ride, this is 6,000 inputs delivered and executed with a therapist’s guidance to ensure each one counts. Hippotherapy uses the horse’s movement as the treatment tool. A licensed therapist runs the session, reading how a child’s body responds to each step and changing the horse’s gait depending on what that child needs that day. The horse isn’t the activity. The horse is how the therapy gets into the body. At Stable Friendships Foundation, that’s the work behind every session we run, sped up here so you can watch it happen, moving at its real pace for every family we work with. Tag someone who’d be surprised by what a 30 minute session actually is. **Step estimate based on published equine gait research (Clayton, American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1995), not measured from this specific session.** 🥰🎥 @stablefriendshipsfoundation #hippotherapy #equineassistedtherapy #horses #fullbodyworkouts #playandlearn
