Equine Therapy (Hippotherapy)

Benefits of Hippotherapy: Hippotherapy is a unique therapeutic approach that utilizes the movement of horses to promote physical, emotional, and cognitive healing. This form of therapy has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits for individuals with various conditions. Here are some key advantages: 1. Improved Balance and Coordination. The rhythmic motion of a horse mimics the human walking gait, helping riders develop better balance, coordination, and postural control. 2. Enhanced Muscle Strength Regular participation in hippotherapy can lead to increased muscle tone and strength. As riders engage with the horse's movement, they naturally activate and strengthen under-used muscle groups, promoting overall physical fitness.

Oppistal is a fully fledged equestrian facility, extending into human therapy interventions, including a traditional western riding school that supports the well-being of humans and horses.  The facility creates harmony between horses and humans and offer all horse related services. Children and adults welcome!
Happy horses and happy clients is what Oppistal is about, we encourage, motivate, congratulate and celebrate the passion in you. We love to serve God and His creation.
