Best Answer

Hippotherapy is a treatment that uses the multidimensional movement of the horse; from the Greek word "hippos" which means horse. Specially trained physical, occupational and speech therapists use this medical treatment for clients who have movement dysfunction.

The horse movements are different than a ball and more random.

What type of horse is the most commonly used for hippotherapy?

There is no one specific breed of horse that is more commonly used in hippotherapy, but horses that are selected to work in the hippotherapy setting have several characteristics in common:First, they posses an exceptional walk. The walk gait provides the sensory and motor input to the patient that the success of the treatment is built upon. The symmetry and rhythm of the horses gait are of paramount importance.Second, the horse must possess a suitable temperament to accept the challenges that accompany this type of work. Horses in the hippotherapy setting should be quiet, well trained and accepting of new or unusual situations. Horses are carefully screened for their physical and mental characteristic that will provide exceptional medical benefit to the patients being treated.Third, they will be chosen in regards to the clients that the particular clinic or program are treating. For example, a pediatric therapy clinic will select a different type and size of horse than a veterans' rehabilitation clinic does.
