Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value

Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
In previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes.

This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.

Abstract

In previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes.

This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.
