We took the boys to see their aunt, uncle, and cousin this weekend. They have horses, and I knew Colin would love them since he’s always trying to ride the dog…and all of his animal toys, lol.
Both boys loved it, and Finley says we are getting a horse now. We shall see about that, Finn Man!
Hippotherapy (that’s therapy with horses, not a hippopotamus!) is actually something that many people on the spectrum can benefit from. A quick Google search lists several benefits: improved motor skills, balance, sensory, language, and emotional benefits.
Looks like Aunt Brittany and Uncle Brendan will be doing some riding lessons with these two in the future!
