A growing number of individuals with special needs are discovering
the benefits of therapies and activities involving horseback
riding. Special Needs, Special Horses, by Naomi Scott, offers
information about the amazing results possible with therapeutic
riding, or hippotherapy. From recreational riding for individuals
with disabilities to the competitions some riders enter (and win),
Scott describes the various techniques of the process and its
benefits to the physically and mentally challenged. The book
explores the roles of the instructors, physical therapists,
volunteers, and the horses, and explains carriage driving,
vaulting, and educational interactions with horses. Scott profiles
individuals involved in the therapy, including clients whose
special needs arose from intrauterine stroke, cerebral palsy,
transverse myelitis, Parkinson's disease, paralysis, sensory
integration dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, shaken baby syndrome,
sensory damage, stroke, seizures, infantile spasms, Down syndrome,
and autism. Special Needs, Special Horses is an excellent guide for
the families of the many who do - or could - enjoy improved lives
from therapeutic riding. It will also appeal to practitioners of
therapeutic riding as an overview of their profession.
