The majority of us does not know (or he was not knowing) the curative properties that could have the horses.

To know what types of therapies exist, we have to divide of the Hypotherapy (word that proceeding from the Greek “Hippos“, who means horse). The Hypotherapy is a therapy based on the use of the multidimensional movement of the horse for the treatment of different physical and mental complaints, which provide the person in treatment of an increase of the self-esteem.

It is a question of a concept and of an idea that they are not, for anything, new. The Greeks were already using to the horses with therapeutic ends, to fight diverse types of illnesses, and in the Middle Age, were recommending the trot or gallop in horse to fight illnesses as the drop. Therefore the therapies with horses are not new. For the persons familiar with this question, they speak about the miraculous trot of the horses.

As for the benefits of the Hypotherapy, they depart from a series of physiological effects in the organism, which are born of the increase of the capacity of perception of stimuli. On the other hand, also it generates a series of psychic effects, like the stimulation of the attention or the concentration. But also we meet physical effects, due to the corporal temperature of the horse.

For all this, this type of therapies with horses is diagnosed for illnesses like the multiple sclerosis, cerebral Palsy, Autism, chronic Complaints, Syndrome of Down, Forked Thorn, cerebral Traumas, neurodegenerativas Illnesses, traumatológicas Illnesses, Anorexia, Bulimia or diverse types of disabilities.

You can find this type of therapies with horses in Madrid, in the Foundation Friendly Horse (C / Lope de Vega, 36).
