The term "therapeutic riding" encompasses all aspects of using the horse with individuals who have physical and/or mental disabilities. This term is all-inclusive and may involve activities on or off the horse. The individual is taught not only specific riding skills, but also skills performed off the horse such as grooming
and tacking.
.Equine-Assisted (or Facilitated) Mental Health is an approach to treatment of various mental and behavioral disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD, using, again, a relationship with the equine as a treatment tool.
