HEALTH

The development of the Yarra Valley Equestrian Park would support physical activity, mental health, gender equality, and healthy active ageing. Riding and caring for horses is an outdoor activity that is good for the body, mind and soul keeping riders engaged and active for longer. There is a proven therapeutic benefit of riding horses for people with disabilities. Access for people with disabilities will be built into the operation of the Yarra Valley Equestrian Park.
