[QUOTE="totoro, post: 149293, member: 3155"] We have been using it for over a year... Our classes only cost.... $10 a session... now. Once the child has learned ALL of the basics they drop the price based on how much they need. Because I have a lot of horse experience and have had horses, mules etc. I was also a licensed PTA (not anymore due to K) but even husband goes by himself and walks and works with K. He had no horse experience! Our Hippotherapy is wonderful. The PT that trains the kids is fully trained and licensed. Now N rides as well. We walk alongside of her. I think personally it has done wonders for K and N. As far as Sensory issues. N's have decreased so much, so have K's. K has had rages while on the horse... which is scary. But she has learned to deal in this situation. She is so good with animals, if nothing else, the girls have learned something most kids don't understand about animals. They can control a 1200 pound animal and talk to them, comfort them. So many things. That is one thing we specifically looked for when deciding to move to Tucson. Besides School, and psychiatristS!!! Good for you!!! Horses just calm a person... even is it just brushing. [/QUOTE]
