Equine-assisted intervention (EAI) is a specific form of therapeutic riding that uses horses' natural movements to achieve various physical, professional, and speech therapy goals. This method is based on the use of horses' rhythmic movement, which positively affects the therapy user. The therapy is led by trained people who, through a series of activities on horseback, work to improve the user's physical, social, or psychological functions. This final paper will focus on hippotherapy and its benefits for people with various physical and mental conditions. In addition to hippotherapy, the paper will cover the fundamental terminological differences in EPA, including the types of activities that involve horses and their classification. The paper is divided into five chapters, which cover the following topics in detail: EPA, characteristics of a therapy horse, hippotherapy, benefits of hippotherapy, and an example from the practice of the Kolan Equestrian Club Association. Two chapters are divided into subchapters to explain specific terminology in more detail. As an illustration, the text is accompanied by eight images that further clarify certain parts of the paper
