Horse is used for many purposes, and one of them is also therapeutic. Therapeutic riding uses a horse and different activities with the horse for therapeutic purposes in order to achieve multiple aims such as improvement of the cognitive, social, emotional, physical, educational and behavioral possibilities with the persons with various impairments and with all age groups. The horses's gait creates unique, relaxing, therapeutic effect on rider's mind and body and in that way decreases psychological and physical difficulties. It has been proved that therapeutic riding increases the willing for life and the motivation for work. People with special needs, besides the possibility to learn to ride a horse, with the therapeutic impact of the horse can increase the quality of their life. By sitting on the horseback people who are in wheelchairs due to their disability, the achievement is that they are provided with the only possible replacement for walking and with the feeling of freedom and mobility which is denied by the disability. Children with special needs have developmental disabilities which means that those children can't reach their peers, but can only mitigate the consequences. For that reason therapeutic riding is one of the interventions that can mitigate the consequences and has positive effect on motor, psychological and social function.
