Hanging with horses is always cool, but in winter, the environment can be a little too cool. In fact, very cold and probably raining.
Even if your equine therapy outfit has an all weather facility, it’s hard to get motivated to leave the house and brave the weather.
So, what are your options?
Other therapies with your team:
Many of our clients transition to art or music during winter. Different therapies have different engagements, but both are very beneficial.
Horsey outings:
We often have trips in our minibus to do horse related activities that are available during winter
Other animals:
Some animals are far more indoorsey. So why not visit a cat cafe or teach your dog a new trick (no matter how old they are) . Or volunteer at an animal rescue.
Plan for next season:
Have a think about what you would like to achieve in the upcoming sessions of equine therapy and discuss with your provider.
Luckily, in Adelaide, the real cold bit of winter is not too long, let’s all look forward to spring.
