Equine therapy

The Peruvian Paso Horse, with its smooth and rhythmic gait, is ideal for equine therapy, as its three-dimensional movement simulates the human gait pattern, allowing for in-depth work on coordination, balance and muscle strengthening without causing sudden impacts on the rider's body. In addition, the bond with the horse fosters self-esteem, communication and emotional regulation, making it a powerful therapeutic resource.
