Why Riding Horses Is Therapeutic for My Disability
I am diagnosed with epilepsy and also a speech and learning disability. When I was younger I lived in Milwaukee, WI, and did therapy — PT (physical therapy) and OT (occupational therapy) with my therapist and my closest best friend. My therapist mentioned horseback riding to my mom as a way to do physical therapy and occupational therapy. My mom and I were thrilled that I could try something new for me that was different than the therapy found in doctors’ offices. The place I went to was fun, helpful and enjoyable for me.
