[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 146805, member: 1991"] Dara, hippotherapy ("hippopotamus" = "river horse"; the Latin names for some of the prehistoric horses include names like "Eohippus", from the Latin) refers to therapy using horses and horseriding. Sometimes having an animal to connect to can help these kids, especially with social skills. They have to learn to trust the horse and also have to learn to work WITH the horse, to treat it so the horse will trust the rider in turn. The horses they use are well trained and used to problem kids. I'd love to use it for difficult child 3, but we haven't got anybody in our area and to just go private with local riding schools would be too expensive for us. One is starting up soon, I was told a few years ago. No sign of it yet. Marg [/QUOTE]
