Horse Riding &
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Experience Strength and Calm in the Rhythm of the Horses
At Vargspår Ranch, we approach horses not as sports equipment, but as partners. Our riding programs are aimed at people seeking an honest, deep connection with these sensitive beings: without performance pressure or expectations, but with mindfulness, trust, and presence.
Our Approach
We combine classical riding elements with a body-aware, sensitive approach to the horse. Especially within equine-assisted therapy, we create a safe space where personal development, emotional regulation, and self-exploration are possible.
We work in a resource-oriented way, maintain clear posture, and always respect the individual pace.
Riding Lessons
🐎 Private and group lessons for beginners & riders returning to the saddle.
🐎 Guided rides through Sweden’s magical forests.
🐎 Groundwork & horse-assisted exercises for inner balance, self-confidence, and presence.
Each session is a dialogue – between human and horse, body and emotion.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Holistic Development Through Interaction with the Horse
In our equine-assisted therapy, the focus is on mindful encounters between human and horse – guided by trust, respect, and individualized support.
Therapeutic riding and horse-assisted interventions provide a safe and structured environment where children, adolescents, and adults can be supported on physical, emotional, and social levels. The horse responds immediately and authentically to its partner, offering valuable experiences in building relationships. These experiences enhance self-awareness, self-regulation, and social skills.
Equine-assisted therapy can be especially beneficial for children and adolescents. Motor skills, balance, coordination, and core strength are positively influenced by the horse’s three-dimensional movements. At the same time, concentration, endurance, and self-confidence can be sustainably strengthened.
Furthermore, working with horses helps reduce inner restlessness and anxiety, supports sensory processing, and improves body awareness. The rhythmic movements of the horse have a regulating effect on the nervous system and engage both body and mind – all without performance pressure and within a natural environment.
Our offer is aimed at children, adolescents, and adults who seek individual support, want to experience stabilization, or wish to experience the special impact of horses in nature.
Each session is professionally planned and individually adapted to needs, resources, and goals. Professionalism, mindfulness, and respectful interaction with both humans and animals form the foundation of our work.
Our Horses
On our farm, three horses live – each with its own story, presence, and dignity.
Arielle – a strong, warm-hearted cold-blooded mare with a deep sensitivity to people
Mérida – a sensitive, attentive Swedish cold-blooded trotter, especially touching in equine-assisted therapy
Mira – belongs to a friend and also enjoys a little attention
Our horses are not “means to an end,” but living personalities whom we accompany with respect, clarity, and reliability. In their presence, you can find calm – and at the same time, gather new energy.
