Equine Therapy: the healing power of horses
Have you ever felt a sense of peace while stroking a horse’s back? Or a special connection when looking into its eyes? It’s no coincidence. Contact with horses has a deeply therapeutic effect, and at Cortijo del Arte Equestrian, we witness it every day.
At Cortijo del Arte Equestrian, we firmly believe in the emotional and physical benefits that come from simply being close to these noble and sensitive animals. Here in Pizarra, surrounded by nature, our guests have the opportunity to enjoy unique moments with horses—whether during a ride, a lesson, or simply by spending time at the cortijo.
What is equine therapy?
Equine therapy is a therapeutic discipline that uses the horse’s movement and the bond with the animal to improve the physical, emotional, and social development of children and adults. It is especially recommended for individuals with:
- Functional diversity
- Mobility issues
- Learning difficulties
- Communication or behavioral disorders
Through interaction with the horse, we work on aspects such as balance, coordination, muscle tone, but also self-esteem, confidence, empathy, and emotional regulation.
Un unique environment
At our cortijo, many families have told us how positive their stay has been for their children or loved ones with special needs. And not just because of the equestrian activities, but also thanks to the peaceful atmosphere, the connection with nature, and the chance to interact with animals freely and without pressure.
Even people without a clinical diagnosis often find in horses a way to disconnect from stress, calm the mind, and reconnect with the present. Because being with horses isn’t just an activity—it’s a deeply emotional experience.
More than a vacation
If you’re looking for a place where well-being and nature come together, Cortijo del Arte Equestrian is the place for you. Whether you’re coming for a relaxing getaway or to share special moments with your little ones, here you’ll find a space where human-animal connection has both a place and a purpose.
Horses teach us to live in the moment, to respect, to observe… and without even realizing it, they give us something we often forget in daily life: calm, connection, and affection without words.
A charming stay and so much more
At Cortijo del Arte Equestrian, we don’t just welcome you to a charming place to stay—we offer an entire sensory and emotional experience. We organize horseback rides for all levels, riding lessons, nature-based activities, and genuine moments of disconnect.
Here, every corner invites you to take a deep breath, enjoy without rushing, and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. Whether as a couple, a family, or a group, we’re here to help you discover the transformative power of horses—and the magic of experiencing it in a one-of-a-kind setting.
