Research Spotlight: Physical & Neurological Benefits of Hippotherapy

Equine-assisted therapy and hippotherapy are increasingly supported by research for their role in improving physical and neurological outcomes, particularly for individuals with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 studies found that equine-assisted therapy significantly improved gross motor function—including walking, running, and jumping—in children with cerebral palsy. Improvements in mobility were also observed in elderly and post-stroke patients.

Research shows hippotherapy can support improvements in:
• Balance and postural control
• Gross motor function
• Gait and walking ability
• Muscle strength and coordination
• Spasticity reduction
• Trunk and pelvic stability

One reason for these benefits is the rhythmic movement of the horse’s gait, which closely mimics human walking.

This movement stimulates the rider’s balance, core muscles, and coordination, making it a powerful therapeutic tool.

Because of these benefits, hippotherapy is commonly integrated into physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to support motor development and functional mobility.
