EquusTerra

EquusTerra Breaking new ground through equine interaction. Therapeutic horse riding for all ages with ASD, ADHD, ADD and anxiety.

We are a Therapeutic Horse riding facility located in Yeronga, along Brisbane Corso. Our centre specialises in teaching kids and adults with various neurological disorders, like autism, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression and other special needs (clients with Cerebral Palsy, Hyper-mobility disorders, etc) how to ride horses. These one-on-one sessions provide significant improvement with:
- Confidence

and self-esteem
- Sensory integration and skills
- Posture, balance and mobility
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Communication and social skills

After two years in operation as a specialised facility, EquusTerra is a registered NDIS provider, a registered provider of Ready, Set, Trot program run by Equestrian Australia and supported by Australian Sports Commission, a registered centre for Special Olympics (four of our athletes participated in the SO State Championships, winning 4 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze medals, now awaiting on the Queensland team selection for National Championships to be followed by Special Olympics World Games). We have been featured few times in the local City South News newspaper and also, on ABC News:
(http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-26/animals-changing-the-lives-of-children-with-disabilities/7540158). We have almost 100 riders who participated in our program, with weekly attendance of 40-50 students. We also partner with Mansfield State High School and Barrett Adolescent Centre: their students participate in our therapeutic riding program, and we work with QUT Faculty of Learning, providing a place for volunteers to do their community pre-service training and learning about autism and anxiety. EquusTerra is a winner of the National Award for Best Activity/Class for Children with Additional Needs, run by What’s On 4 Kids.
