EQUINE-ASSISTED MOVEMENT

Equine-Assisted Movement (EAM) provides the participant with a variety of sensory-motor experiences through the movement of the horse.  These experiences can be facilitated by changing physical positioning on the horse, games, and/or altering the movement of the horse in a variety of ways (hills, footing, pace, etc).  EAM helps to develop body awareness, improved posture and balance, coordination, and motor-planning as a result of the horse’s movement, with no therapeutic manipulation of the participant by the PATH Professional.  This program is suited for individuals of all ages with impaired balance, low muscle tone, decreased strength, low endurance, or other disabilities, and can be used as a fundamental class to transition into Adaptive Riding (riding skills).  This is a private or semi-private lesson under the direction of a PATH Professional who provides direct handling and cueing of the participant with the aid of one or more volunteers.
