Ropa y equipos para la terapia con caballos
Los equipos para terapia con caballos
Es clave la elección de ropa y equipos para la terapia cuyo elemento central son los caballos
Montar caballos es una terapia física y mental. Consiste en el uso de caballos para la integración sensorial, emocional, comunicacional, cognitiva y motora. Por ello, es una de las terapias complementarias más recomendadas, siempre que a las familias les sea posible. Las terapias con caballos no tienen contraindicaciones. Hemos dedicado un artículo específico sobre la equinoterapia y el tratamiento del autismo.
La Tienda del autista ha hecho una selección de productos para el ejercicio de la equinoterapia. En ella, se tuvo en cuenta la sensibilidad particular de los niños con TEA, la seguridad y la practicidad al andar a caballo.
Pero también hemos incluido productos para adultos. Hay pocas actividades que, una vez vencido el temor o respeto inicial, mejoren tantos aspectos sensoriales, de equilibrio, etc.
Consejos antes de comprar ropa de montar
Estoy convencido de los beneficios que tiene el caballo para mi hijo
Ya está, ya te has decidido. Sí, lo has estudiado, hablado y meditado. La equinoterapia (se puede consultar nuestro extenso artículo en el sitio) es una actividad terapéutica que no tiene contraindicaciones. Obviamente, siempre que se practique de modo sensato. Y, durante las sesiones de terapia, acompañados por un profesional, por el o la terapeuta. Ahora, te toca pensar en el equipo. Ya te imaginas tu niñ@ con el traje de montar, botas, casco y las riendas en la mano. ¿No es cierto? Pues no, deberías pensar un poquito más. ¿Más? Ciertamente, al menos que quieras gasta tu dinero inútilmente.
Pasos a seguir antes de comprar un equipo de montar
🐎 Primero, habla con tu hij@. Del modo que puedas. Con pictogramas, fotos, un video, una visita. Dile que, en unos días -ya sabes cómo decirle, posiblemente con algún marcador de tiempo conocido por él o ella- podrá ir a estar con los caballos. Antes, le darás algún libro corto con imágenes de caballos o una historia o cuento sobre ellos.
🐎 Segundo, está atento a sus respuestas, al modo en que asimila la información. Es esencial que -como decimos siempre- no proyectes tus propias expectativas. Deja que la información se asimile.
🐎 En tercer lugar… no compres nada aún. Posiblemente, si vas a un centro de equinoterapia profesional, tengan algún casco para prestarte. Ya llegará el momento de adquirir todo el equipo. Inicialmente, que la niña o el niño tenga ropa cómoda, nada más. Mientras tanto, puedes comprarle ropa de compresión.
NOTA:
Cuando se comienza a andar a caballo, la primera vez suelen doler los músculos y la espalda. Las primeras veces que se galopa o trota, si el tiempo es prolongado pueden sentir molestias en las nalgas. Si se anda sin montura (muchísimas veces es muy recomendable por el contacto físico que se produce) y el caballo suda, puede picar. Ninguna de estas situaciones es peligrosa o inesperada. Es como cuando se monta en bicicleta por primera vez.
Pero, es bueno que estés prevenid@. Y, que se lo digas a tu hij@. Sin exagerar. Sólo para que todos sepan que es lo esperable. Es un paso simplemente. Luego, desaparecen las molestias iniciales de principiante.

¿Qué productos comprar para la terapia con caballos?
🐴 Pues, en realidad, depende de cómo se desarrollen las actividades terapéuticas. Por ejemplo, podría ser que el terapeuta utilice bastante tiempo en el proceso de acercamiento al caballo: cepillarlo, acariciarlo, darle de comer, hacerlo pasear de la rienda. Entonces, será útil comprar un kit de cuidado para el caballo, como el que ofrecemos en esta página. También, un frasco de golosinas. Posiblemente, sea importante para el o la niñ@ llevar desde casa esos elementos para las sesiones.
🐴 Luego, lo que quizá sea más importante es el casco. En la página, ofrecemos una variedad seleccionados por diferentes características: robustez, alta protección, suavidad…
🐴 A continuación, lo que necesite dependerá de la sensibilidad de tu hij@. Tal vez precise guantes, si le molesta mucho el roce. Obsérvalo. No proyectes. Los pantalones de montar deben ser cómodos, especialmente permitir la apertura de piernas sin tirones. Los breeches son, realmente, la mejor opción si el tejido es el adecuado. Si no, utiliza el tipo de pantalones que presentamos en la sección de ropa sensorial.
🐴 Si, más adelante, se aficiona a la equitación será interesante irle comprando el equipo completo. Eso sí, a medida que va alcanzando logros en el deporte-terapia.
