I didn't realize that therapuetic riding, with which I am somewhat familiar, is considered to be quite separate from hippotherapy. I guess that I have a problem with regarding horses as merely a technique, like using a pool program, when it is the relationship of the 'patient' to the horse that I find contributes greatly to improvement. The best therapy horses and dogs have an innate sensitivity to humans; they are nonjudgemental, patient and persistent, and seem to tailor their responses to the individual person's specific needs or abilities.
