About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a brown and white horse in front of a snowy background.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Patee House Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri, before the start of the 164th Pony Express Re-Ride event (a 1,966-mile trek from St. Joseph to Sacramento, California).
About the Horses set: Includes five designs picturing photographs of different horses in profile by Stephanie Moon and Karen Wegehenkel.
History the stamp represents: Horses have been used informally for therapeutic benefit for hundreds of years. However, it wasn’t until the 1960s that modern medicine began officially recognizing the benefits. Hippotherapy (using horses to assist physical, occupational, or speech therapy) came first, while equine-assisted therapy (using horses to assist in mental health or behavioral therapies) didn’t arrive until the 1990s.
When riding a horse in hippotherapy, it can help improve posture, hand-eye coordination, balance, strength, speech, and more. This is because when sitting on a moving horse, your body tends to follow along with the natural motion of the horse as it walks. Hippotherapy is especially popular with children. It tends to be more fun and hold their attention better than traditional forms of physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Since equine-assisted therapy (EAT) is a newer form of equine therapy, its positive effects are still being studied. However, it has shown promising results in individuals recovering from substance abuse or those suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma. Horses are especially sensitive to human emotions and, when properly trained, can provide the calm, reassuring environment a person needs to heal.
