Best Answer

Horseback riding requires balance, timing, coordination and understanding of the aids. For many people, with or without a disability, learning a new sport or skill requires dedication and motivation. For people with disabilities who are interested in learning to ride a horse they must make a commitment to improve their skills. Improvement in riding or sports often results in improved mood, confidence and self esteem.

There is also a form of rehabilitation, Equine Assisted Therapy, in which horses are used to help those with special needs. In the case of Equine Assisted Therapy it is the horse in combination with a medical professional that improves the skills of the person with special needs. The horse is a partner in the treatment session and the goals are based on the professional providing the service. In Equine Assisted Therapy the horse may help the person with their balance, strength, coping skills or cognition and attention.

Interacting with horses feels good to many people, including those with disabilities.
