Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does the mediation of a horse in memory workshops increase its effects ?
Researchers will compare traditional memory workshops, memory workshops using equine therapy and a control group to see if the equine therapy mediation will increase cognitive functions, mood and quality of life in individuals with mild to moderate Dementias.
Participants will participate in 8 weekly sessions of equine therapy memory workshops / traditional memory workshops / a control group will not have any interventions during that period. All subjects will be evaluated pre and post intervention period.
