[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 41120, member: 59"] My difficult child volunteers at a therapeutic riding center for children with disabilities. I can tell you that it is an absolutely wonderful experience for both the volunteers and riders. She has often come home beaming because she got a child who does speak to talk to her while riding or she saw a child smile because they were having fun. And the experience has done wonders for difficult child too. Children with behavioral problems do very well with horses. If you have such a center near you I would recommend it wholeheartedly. Nancy P.S. I wanted to add that there are children there of all abilities. There are some children who need a side walker on both sides to help them stay on, there are some who have multiple disabilities, some who you would never think could ride a horse, others who seem to be fine and their disability is emotional. My point is that the center is use to and trained to handle children of all abilities so you can be sure they are well experienced. It's amazing to watch a child with severe ADHD get on a horse and be completely calm. [/QUOTE]
