[Ag-eq] Equine therapy

[Michelle Creedy]

Nella, I don't do therapeutic riding but I plan to get into some therapeutic
work with my minis. I'm just going at it on my own.

I know there are a few groups offering equine assisted therapy around here,
but don't know much about it.  From all I've heard riding is not involved
just leading, grooming and such.

In my area there is a nonprofit group that works with at risk youth and I
believe there's another group working with the military and law enforcement.

I wonder how reseptive they would be to the blind?

I know that most theraputic riding programs do not want blind employees or
volunteers.  They are concerned about liability.

This is one reason I only took a few lessons at a theraputic riding
facility. 
as anyone else had experiences with theraputic equine programs?
