Passion, Dedication, and Joy in the Saddle
At Mysa Care, we celebrate the unique passions of the people we support. For Victoria, that passion is horse riding, and she takes it seriously.
Victoria has attended Lymm Riding School in Cheshire for years. She never misses a session and always arrives on time, ready to ride.
She treats her horse and instructors with great kindness and respect, showing real dedication to the process.
A Welcoming, Inclusive Riding School
Lymm Riding School is a well-established centre offering inclusive and therapeutic riding for adults and children with learning disabilities and additional needs.
The school provides safe, supportive lessons tailored to each individual’s abilities. Their experienced team fosters a calm and confidence-building environment.
Riding Builds Strength, Balance, and Coordination
Horse riding offers a wide range of physical benefits. It improves core strength, balance, and coordination, while also boosting muscle tone and motor skills.
The rhythmic movement of the horse helps with postural control, which is especially important for people with physical and neurological conditions.
Emotional and Cognitive Benefits
Victoria’s time in the saddle also supports her emotional wellbeing. Riding helps reduce stress and anxiety, while increasing confidence and self-esteem.
It encourages focus, concentration, and problem-solving, all essential life skills. The connection with the horse also provides emotional comfort and joy.
Supporting Sensory and Social Development
Horse riding engages the senses through movement, sound, and touch. These sensory experiences are especially helpful for those with sensory processing challenges.
In addition, working with instructors and caring for the horse helps develop social skills, empathy, and communication.
Post-Riding Exercises Are Key
After every session, Victoria completes post-riding stretches. These exercises are crucial for muscle recovery, flexibility, and continued physical progress.
She takes every step of her riding routine seriously and always gives it her best effort.
A Space to Shine
Horse riding gives Victoria a sense of independence and purpose. Each week, she grows stronger, more confident, and more connected with her horse.
She continues to thrive, and her achievements inspire everyone around her.
