Abstract

Hippotherapy is a new auxiliary therapy method that physical therapists use the characteristics of equestrian sports to rehabilitate patients with physical or cognitive disorders. Equestrian therapy courses need to be conducted by a team of professionals, including physiotherapists, side care, and horse handlers. According to incomplete statistics, at present, about 45 countries and regions around the world have carried out equestrian therapy courses, and at least 14 regions in mainland China are carrying out or have carried out equestrian therapy courses and related activities. However, there are still no regular equestrian therapy courses in Qingdao. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the feasibility of introducing horsemanship therapy in Qingdao by investigating various influencing factors. It can provide a novel treatment for the majority of disabled people in Qingdao, and contribute to the welfare of the disabled in Qingdao. Through the analysis of relevant literature collection, statistical data and field investigation, it is concluded that Qingdao has certain resources advantages, it has all the necessary conditions for the introduction of equestrian therapy technology. However, it is relatively difficult to provide free services for the disabled. For Qingdao to carry out equestrian therapy courses in the future, it still needs to make preparations and efforts in many aspects.
