The horse riding tradition >

 
 
Nowadays horse-riding includes various features involving pure sports, simple play and also therapy. The latter not only offers the chance for people with physical problems to exercise (a classic example is the performance of Liz Hartel, a poliomyelitic girl, at the Helsinki Olympics) but also contributes to the treatment of many physical and psychological pathologies thanks to therapeutic horse-riding, for instance, which is believed to be a real exercise for patients with heart, circulatory and breathing problems.  
 
 
In fact horse-riding stimulates different sides of the person’s physique and psychology by working on various similar elements basically linked to exercise that involves the muscles, the senses and the cardiopulmonary system; to a 3D movement gait that stimulates the motor coordination and the elasticity of the intervertebral disks creating at the same time a feeling of movement even for the paraplegic people; to the balance; to the neuro-muscular stimulation and to the man-animal bond.
 
 
   
 
Another goal at the Abano Terme Horse Centre is to develop the practice of the hippotherapy medical science, which is a complex of techniques that help you to overcome sensorial, cognitive and behavioural injuries with the help of the recreational relaxation that occurs while riding. The therapy is performed with the help of a qualified, authorized personal therapist.

This project represents an ambitious social commitment, that acknowledges the importance and validity of horse riding as a rehabilitative technique and augments the scarce presence of qualified centres in the territory.
