Special Needs, Special Horses: A Guide to the Benefits of Therapeutic Riding (Practical Guide)

As a novice volunteer and a retiree, I found new life with a purpose in my first year at a NARHA (now PATH International) therapy center. This book has given me perspective and the incentive to donate more of my time and effort to this excellent cause.

As a therapeutic horseback riding instructor from Israel, I have to give the credit to the author for such a needed book. Thank you so much!

Loved the interviews with families and riders. Gives a great view of how equine e therapy really has an impact on the rider in a more holistic view.

She works as a volunteer in therapeutic riding and this gave her even more clear insights into the whole field of therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. Great great stories!

The book was an easy read and gave me wonderful I formation related to horses and how much of an impact they can have with people.

I really enjoyed this book! It explains basically everything about horse therapy, and it even has testimonials in the last few chapters :)

The book was in great condition except for the fact that is smelled like cigarette smoke!!! Still trying to air it out.

Well presented and informational, The book clearly delineates the benefits of therapeutic riding. Inspirational, great pics, easy reading, a good addition to the library of anyone considering such an option.

the book is interesting although dated and rather a biography than specific information concerning horses and kids with special needs

I just loved this book and couldn't put it down. I am a true believer in the 'healing' power of horses and this story just justified my views.

Thats proper guide for therapist and parents. Clearly talking about therapeutic riding, only facts no myths or common believes.Worth buying, worth knowing.
