Horses have been used therapeutically for years. Scientists don't fully understand how animals can be so beneficial physically and emotionally for humans but it is well documented. Whether it is swimming with dolphins, pets visiting seniors in nursing homes or equine riding programs for disabled children, the results are amazing. Paraplegics find that getting on a horse and being independent from their wheelchairs is very liberating for them. Horseback therapy has also had a huge impact on autistic children. For people that love horses and all animals these facts come as no surprise.
