Reading Time: 2 min.

Horses are one of the noblest beings; spending time with them helps improve your quality of life, your relationship with the environment increases your empathy, and many other benefits. Horses can help you improve your quality of life, so it is essential to consider the best breeding method if you decide to live with a horse.

Among the benefits of living with horses, studies show that living with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), cerebral palsy, and intellectual disability or Down syndrome. Being close to a horse, without riding it, just stroking or looking at it, relaxes them and helps them relate better to the world.

Horses not only help people who experience some problems. Anyone can improve their quality of life with these noble animals and, above all if you want to work on your self-esteem. Whether grooming them and, above all, learning to ride or simply having them around us, horses will change our lives.

Horses have the quality of being able to perceive our emotions. They are distinctively sensitive beings, as well as affectionate and emotional, so human-horse coexistence will be an experience that will bring us benefits in all aspects.

Cognitive benefits:

  • Levels of attention and connection with the environment increase.
  • They favor temporal and spatial localization.
  • They improve cognitive functions overall, memory, attention, language, perception, problem-solving, planning, etc.

Sensory benefits:

  • The animal is a source of stimuli (smells, textures, sounds, temperature) that promote sensory experiences.

At a psychosocial level:

  • It breaks the person’s isolation and puts you on equal terms.

Benefits at a social level:

  • It improves oral and non-oral language skills.
  • Increases the level of social interaction with other users of the center and monitors, facilitating social inclusion
  • Promotes integration in groups and channels for social dialogue

Whether we want to start riding as a hobby or maybe improve our wellness and self-esteem or improve our quality of life, we must go to a good center that offers us personalized treatment to learn little by little to relate better to the horse.

The best thing for a horse breeding relationship is to opt for the natural dressage method or the Daan Method. With this method, there is no animal abuse. This method works with activities with horses.

David Andrade, who for just over 14 years has been practicing the technique and training horses individually, opened Daan Horsemanship, a school in which Natural Dressage is the basis of teaching.

Horse expert considers that horses have been punished in various ways and even exploited for many years, but they are such noble being that, despite everything, remain faithful to man.
