[QUOTE="Shari, post: 149354, member: 1848"] We have a therapeutic riding arena not far from here. I participated in fund raising long before difficult child's. For the most part, the results were small improvements, but there have been a few cases of absolutely DRAMATIC responses to the horses. That said, I've always had horses, and looking back, they are the connection that kept difficult child 1 close enough to me that we got by. Knowing that now, we harness it with difficult child 2. difficult child 2 is the kid who gets rude comments about his hyperactivity from the other parents in the ADHD clinic, yet on a horse, he can sit for hours and absorb his surroundings and conversation and...he was a restless baby, but even then, as a tiny baby, we took him on all day long trail rides and never once does anyone recall him crying. I am a FIRM beleiver in what these animals can provide to some of our kiddos. [/QUOTE]
