“There is no better way to connect with nature than to ride bareback.” -K.R.
    Horse Therapy not only helps those with PDD and Autism but also with Dyslexia. Developmental reading disorder (dyslexia) is a reading disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols. When you have dyslexia, not only do you have a problem with reading but also with spacial difference and coordination. Just trying to learn how to ride a bike was one of the most challenging things to learn because I didn't have any coordination. I also have a problem with when to turn into traffic, I like lots of space. 
    Even though it did take more than just horses to help me with my dyslexia (a lot more) they helped a lot. 
When I would ride I had to learn how do use my hands and feet together instead of as separate parts of me. It taught me how to align my body and to work as one with the horse. In all horses have been my life both because of their loving nature and teaching me to coordinate things in my life.

My daughter is 13 and dyslexic/aspergers. We have home schooled since 5th grade. She is doing well since we added horses into our schooling. She joined the local 4h horse club 3 years ago and just got her very own horse. I am Am hoping he will help her more and more :).

    My Paso Fino filly is now almost 5 and the joy of my life. The friendship of a horse can be amazing and help heal most anything if you let them in.
