Contact Therapy - The Importance and Role of Horses in Our Lives
I know this text is not a traditional study. It is not measurable, nor is it objective in the conventional sense. But I know the experience is real—both for me and for the people who shared it. And I know that science today can already confirm much of it, or at least acknowledge it as a relevant field of interest. So please—let us not dismiss what cannot be easily explained. Let us observe, perceive, and allow ourselves to be guided. Perhaps even by a horse.
HippoDiary: The mind is my tool, not my master!
In my practice, I keep encountering the same theme over and over. We realize that we can change our lives and, consequently, the entire world only through ourselves, but how? How can we do that when we are already living the best we can? So I have tried to compile a few tips that have worked for me. They are based on the insights from the studies of Rudolf Steiner and his more than one-hundred-year-old recommendations for inner work.
Diary of a Hippotherapist: The Journey to the Best Version of Myself
Today, I decided to slow down a bit and reflect on what it means to be the best version of myself.

Collaboration Instead of Rivalry How Hippotherapy Organizations United Forces
The story of painter Laura Bezděková, her supportive gesture, and the vision of Kateřina Karásková reminds us that the best path to success is through collaboration. Together, we can overcome all obstacles and achieve success that would be unattainable for an individual.
Take control of your mind before it takes control of you
Working on oneself is essential if we want to prevent anxiety, burnout, overthinking, and other mental crises. Taking hold of our minds before they take hold of us means dedicating time to self-discovery and development. Hipotherapy is one of the effective ways to support this process. Horses can help us find peace, self-confidence, and a better understanding of ourselves. Don’t let your thoughts control you—start working on yourself today, regardless of age or physical condition.
How does a horse brighten your brain?
Surely you know the feeling when you are completely immersed in something you enjoy, and the surrounding world seems to disappear for a moment. Such moments, when you are fully present, can help you not only feel better but also manage stress and everyday challenges more effectively. And did you know that you can work with horses in a similar way?
Jamie's "Debrno" brightened up HipoBar
Imagine this. We have a boy here at HipoBar, his name is Jamie. And do you know what this boy did? It's been a year since he started coming here. Talking wasn't his thing; if you tried to coax something out of him, at most you'd get some random word, just something that seemed like who knows what. But today, today was different. Believe it or not, when his grandmother came to pick him up today, Jamie looked her in the eyes and said "Debrno".
Our children with autism, Asperger's syndrome, and ADHD
Hippotherapy, or therapy with the aid of horses, offers significant benefits for children diagnosed with conditions such as autism, Asperger's syndrome, and ADHD in terms of their integration, emotional balance, and stability.
