Walk on Therapy
About
Walk on Therapy was established to combine a life-long passion of horses with a love of providing physiotherapy to children. They understand the impact riding, engaging with or being near horses can have on human wellbeing. They place a significant focus on helping children, and sharing the benefits of the horses’ movement on children’s physical health and mental wellbeing.
