Hippotherapy is a specialised form of therapy that uses the movement of a horse to support physical, occupational and speech therapy goals. Unlike recreational riding, hippotherapy sessions are led by qualified health professionals who integrate the horse’s movement into tailored treatment plans.
The horse’s natural gait provides a dynamic, three-dimensional motion that helps improve strength, balance and sensory processing in ways that cannot be replicated in a clinic setting. At RDAQ, select centres are equipped to deliver this program safely, working closely with riders and their families to achieve therapeutic outcomes. While not every RDAQ centre offers hippotherapy, we can guide you to your nearest location and provide advice on eligibility.
