Notes on Riding Therapy

Horse therapy for depression, stress, anxiety and menopausal problems. This is an unofficial study but observation I have made over many years with myself and many other women. We all know from studies that riding improves circulation, muscle tone and massages your internal organs but I found that it also seems to help drastically when you are depressed or stressed even going through the menopause. Every time I was feeling bad my husband would say why don’t you go riding. I always felt like a new person when I did. Many other women I spoke to said they found the same results even to the point of being able to reduce medication and always slept better. I think it is time someone did an official study on this because my results from a large group of women were very impressive and worthy of a study.
