Horses: Healing In Many Ways
Conquering goals is important to Northern Michigan Equine Therapy. Over the years, we have seen many conquer their individual needs.
NMET’s first bright star was a young lady who made great strides with a neurological disorder where changes in textures were intolerable. During her first hippotherapy session (equine assisted therapy), she ran from the concrete aisle onto grass without second thought.
Zander, pictured right, is a rock star with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome and was told he would never walk. On his fifth birthday and during his fifth session at NMET, Zander walked from his therapy horse, Adele, to his mother’s waiting arms for the first time. Not a dry eye in the barn that day!
Hippotherapy
This form of occupational, physical, and speech therapy uses a horse as the therapeutic tool. This strategy uses a horse’s presence and movements as the primary way to achieve functional goals.
