Equine Therapy and Chucky Cheese

This is my son at his first session of horse therapy. If it wasn't so expensive and insurance companies would cover this, I would have him there twice a week. It has been a truly wonderful experience. He is at peace with the horses, happy and enjoys it, probably because he doesn't realize how good it is for him. If the opportunity is there for you to participate in this,I would encourage it. It has helped him in every aspect. He is more verbal as they prompt him to speak and relay to them what he wants to do. They work on many learning aspects from recognizing letters, and even colors. They do fine motor skills, gross motor skills and posture. My son awaits the days that he goes and thoroughly enjoys it. The one week my son's task was to make Double Dip look pretty by doing his hair. Charlie has to brush Double Dip and he put little clips in his mane. Charlie never fussed having to do it because he was doing it for Double Dip, not a therapist.
