Equestrian Tai Chi for Therapeutic Riding Instructors is an online program for instructors who teach riding to people with learning disabilities or special conditions such as Autism or Down’s Syndrome.
Equestrian Tai Chi is performed on horseback. It is suitable for a broad spectrum of people, it can be taught to individuals or to groups of any age and to people with differing levels of ability and disability.
Practicing Equestrian Tai Chi is calming and soothing for the nervous system and most people find it enjoyable and relaxing.
Tai Chi has been scientifically proven to help with Autism, Dyspraxia, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Depression, High Blood Pressure and many other conditions.
A major benefit of learning Tai Chi is how it helps with insomnia.
Feed back that we have received, from people who practiced Equestrian Tai Chi for Therapeutic Riding themselves, or their carers, tells us that many had improved sleep quality, were able to relax more, some found it easier to eat. Others had improved concentration, improved coordination and improved ability to receive instruction. Almost everyone found it calming and relaxing.
