This is logical considering the fact that flight - the instinct to sprint away from perceived danger - is the species' principal defensive behaviour, but it is also a bit surprising considering the size of the animal.

The supposed bioenergy informational system consists of subsystems: the protective energy covering of the body - the aura; the system of energy centers - the chakras; the system of acupuncture meridians, points and microsystems of the ear, foot, etc. We have based our conclusions on both the theoretical work of the professional public /supposed existence of sensors for very low magnetic field! and our own practical experiences. In our opinion, during therapeutic riding exist transfer from energy field of the horse to the patient and vice versa with a energy complementation on the patient. Also we suppose an important effect on the first chakra and we predict an acupressure stimulation of acupuncture meridians and points." ... they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.

The hippotherapy was integrated into their existing physiotherapy management and was planned in blocks of 6 - 10 sessions.Each child was jointly assessed by the physiotherapist managing their care and the physiotherapist practising the hippotherapy. The children were reassessed after each block and improvements measured. Both children made significant improvements in their walking pattern. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The study considers thepsychological adjustment of spinal cord injured people. It involves patients with paraplegia and partial tetraplegia who, following residential rehabilitation, are out- patients at the Austin and Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Horse riding is used as the intervention. It is expected that the study will continue over the next 3 years. The results relating to each variable and the patterns of variables will be reported and discussed in the light of the work that has gone before. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Many of them are endowed with defensive weapons, and corresponding aggressive behaviour, which does not require great perceptive powers in order to be effective. For example the elephant, the Cape buffalo, and even the rhinoceros may be the target of the hunting lion. The size, strength, and weaponry of such animals may be all the defence they need.

The same can be said of all serious riders working towards achieving a balanced centered riding position with their weight evenly distributed through both seat bones (ischial tuberosities) and down through the heels. Correct posture requires the centre of gravity to be over the base of support, the feet. For many years the "ideal" riding position has been described as one in which a plumb line would pass through the rider's ear, shoulder, hip, and heel. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The term "Riding Therapy" has different connotations in different countries. In the United Kingdom RDA understands their objective as providing disabled people with the opportunity of riding and driving to benefit their health and well being.The aim in RDA group rides is to teach riding and for riders to enjoy their riding experience (this also includes stable management).

Perception is dependent upon the senses. The horse has the same five senses that we do: Visual, Olfactory, Auditory, Tactile, and Gustatory. They differ from ours, however, and the horse, therefore, perceives its world differently than we do. The flightiness of this prey creature would not serve to keep it alive in a natural habitat populated with carnivorous, predatory species unless it could detect their approach. Overwhelmingly, that is the primary function of the horse's senses, just as its anatomical and physiological adaptations must serve to allow the flight response to have the speed to escape danger.

In addition, a number of informal discussions were held on the same subject. This paper outlines the subjects discussed at these session, and outlines the steps undertaken by the FRDI to address the issues raised Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

When I do, I am referring to the other common domestic species with which the American veterinarians are trained (cattle, swine, sheep, goats, dogs and cats). There are, of course, other domestic species which are less cornmon, such as water buffalo, the llama, and the dromedary. Show less (-) | €5.00 |
