Many years of experience in horse-therapy show that this is the efficient method of rehabilitation of disabled children, also with Down syndrome. This method improves not only proficiency, but also mental sphere and social functions of children. 3 cases of children with Down syndrome in age 7-8 years rehabilitated by horse-therapy, and other methods (physical exercises, swimming, talking exercises) through 1-3 year have been described. In every case adding horse-therapy to other methods of rehabilitation gave measurable advantages both in physical sphere and also in mental and social spheres. In parents' opinion disabled children are highly motivated to take part in the classes of horse-therapy. It should be emphasized that in every described case we have seen high involvement of parents in rehabilitation process.
多年的马术治疗经验表明，这是残疾儿童，包括唐氏综合征儿童康复的有效方法。这种方法不仅提高了儿童的能力水平，还改善了他们的心理状态和社交功能。本文描述了3例7至8岁唐氏综合征儿童通过马术治疗以及其他方法（体育锻炼、游泳、语言训练）进行了1至3年康复治疗的情况。在每一个案例中，将马术治疗与其他康复方法相结合，在身体、心理和社交方面都带来了显著的益处。在家长看来，残疾儿童对参加马术治疗课程积极性很高。应该强调的是，在每一个所描述的案例中，我们都看到家长在康复过程中高度参与。
