Hence,having the potential to stimulate multiple domains of functioning , therapeutic riding may represent an innovative rehabilitative practice for children with neuro development disorders who frequently present a combination of motor, cognitive, and social disabilities.Reported outcomes of equine- assisted interventions for ASD population include improvements in different areas of functioning known to be impaired in ASD , namely increased social responsiveness and motivation,language / communication, as well as decreased problems behaviors and stress(Bass et al. 2009;Gabriels et al .2012;Keino et al.2009;Kern et al.2011;Memishevikj and Hodzhikj 2010; Lanning et al.2014;Ward et al.2013).There is also preliminary evidence of the potential use of therapeutic riding to improve motor functioning and sensory processing in children with a developmental delay,including those with ASD(Bass et al.2009;Gabriels et al.2012;Ward et al.2013;Winchester et al.2002).
