the term "hippotherapy" literally means treatment or
therapy aided by a horse.
More often draped over a horse's back than upright
in the saddle, the unique heartbeat and locomotion
of a horse connects with the disabled participant,
providing a unique interaction and nurturing a sense
or partnership and allowance, perhaps in a way not
experienced before in a challenged life.
Our desire to focus support for hippotherapy providers
and the special families they serve is deep-rooted in
three fundamental life experiences:
• A decade of camp counseling disabled kids & adults
• A glorious & inspirational niece saddled with autism
• A first-hand knowledge that "the best thing for the
inside of a man is the outside of a horse."
I am a member of a horseman's organization whose
charitable foundation supports hippotherapy providers
like Project R.I.D.E., and we seek out further
opportunities in this same spirit.
