SENSORY & EMOTIONAL INCENTIVES:

One of the most interested aspects of Equspera's activity is the equestrian therapy, which consists of an extraordinary huge number sensory stimulations that a horse can provide. Horsing provides 6 sensory elements contemporary: the patient receives acoustic, visual, olfactory stimulus', but most of all he receives intensive tactile, vestibular (for equilibrium) and proprioceptive stimulus'. It is also a valid communication stimulus.

The IPPOTHERAPY (riding therapy) offers to children with Down syndrome the possibility of psychophysical rehabilitation in natural and harmonic way, limiting the stress for this children (they normally use to be receive a lot of stress from the normal rehabilitation programmes and interventions, that of course help them for other aspects).

The CONTACT the child establishes with the horse becomes for him a kind of bridge to gets in contact with the realty. The experience of the emotion on the back of the horse creates the correlation for the child's non verbal sensations. In practice the child experiments emotions and learns how to recognise it driven by his one sensibility that meets the horses' one, which is one of the most sensible animals.
