[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 359463, member: 1550"] My oldest three kids, at different times, all swore they wanted their own pets and we bought them pets. They lost interest in the pets within a year and we ended up taking care of them. Nothing on earth could make me buy any of my kids a horse, not for any reason. A dog could do the same thing and is much cheaper. I personally don't believe horses, dogs, or any one gimmick will heal our children. If she truly likes animals and always has, you can frequently take her to a petting zoo. I would privately tell therapist to keep his opinions about expensive "healings" to himself. I think sometimes our therapists have so much money that they forget how it is to hope you have enough money for groceries. On top of the cost of buying the horse, there is upkeep and vet care. I vote with those who say no. [/QUOTE]
