At the University, there's also a Therapeutic Riding program -- which has been providing treatment to children and adults with disabilities since 19-89. Therapeutic Riding orginated in Europe back in the 19-50's. Today there are more than 500 centers in the United States. As Chip Neal first reported in 2004, the program takes advantage of the special bond that seems to form between the horse and these riders. |
| Therapeutic Riding Return to index of stories... |
Intro Therapeutic Riding 01:01:23 The UNH Therapeutic Riding program has been providing therapeutic treatment to children with physical, emotional and mental disabilities since 1989. They take advantage of the special bond that seems to form between a horse and one of these children. See a child riding VO Parent 02:15:38 Parent - we started w/ Catherine when she was 3, Brian when he was 3 as well. Katie was an exceptional child, she didn't have any words, she had 3 words when we came here and w/in 3 months of being here she had sentences that she could only form after being out here. She could only speak originally when she was riding on a horse See child riding more 01:02:11 Cindy - we have a variety of students in the program and their experience is tailored to whatever their challenges are. They range from autism and ADHD, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, spinobifida. They can be confined to a wheelchair or self-ambulatory. The benefits depend on the student, but they range from emotional confidence of being in charge of an animal, being able to move the animal around, ot physical benefits such as balance, strength. The movement of the horse triggers a sensor response in the legs of the rider. We can help stretch hip muscles. So a wide variety of benefits. See group working with a child 2:16:53 - Parent - When we first came to therapeutic riding, my children were labeled as autistic children and we weren't sure if they'd ever come out w/in society and as we went through the program, we found that they were just sensory integration dysfunctional. A lot of that was due to the socialization w/ the animals and the people and the way it was done. It was very much a miracle for Katie. We had her tested in he april timeframe and when she went to school in September people could not believe the difference. It was 2 different people there; it was great. 01:04:54 HOW DOES A CHILD IN A WHEELCHAIR BENEFIT FROM WORKING W/ A HORSE? 01:05:00 Cindy - the benefits can be pretty widespread. We can help them to build up muscles strength, we work on an exercise called posting where they go up and down. They can help build leg strength. Also, the emotional impact of being confined to a wheelchair, now you're tall, you're up on a big animal and able to move I around. So it's a pretty amazing program. Watch a child working 01:06:32 Cindy - the parents like best about our program is in some part they don't have a role. That's a huge relief to them, they can entrust their child to us for 45 minutes. They can stay there and watch and just relax … They're a partner w/ us in the program, but they're also able to step aside and take a break. 02:16:31 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED AS PARENTS? 02:16:33 Parent - that animals and the connection between children, even though it looks a lot like play, it's very helpful for them. Therapeutic riding has been a godsend for my children. 02:19:28 Other parent - I think the main thing for my son is building confidence. For someone having insecurity about their body, being so high up and navigating a horse has given him awareness in a fun way w/ a live being…. it's meant a lot to my son. What I was looking for was to have him have an experience of conquering a fear. He was afraid to come and he's got a lot of challenges in life. To see him go from that to working up, it's really meant a lot to him. 02:00:14 … So when we have a new horse that becomes a part of the UNH family that we think might be a good subject for our program here, we generally start by bringing him into the area and just getting a sense of what, if anything the horse might be afraid of. And do in this case we've determined that he might be a little afraid of the color yellow but you can see that he doesn't move his feet and that's sort of what we're looking for. 02:00:38 Woman: That if he's in a new environment and something scary comes at him, is he gonna bolt sideways? Or is he just gonna lift his head up and look around? And that's sort of a good sign that he's not moving his feet right here. So this is his very first day in here and we'll bring him in here every day for a series of weeks until he's pretty much unflappable, we're convinced that he's not going to be scared of anything. 02:01:04 LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A TACTILE PART OF THE TRAINING HERE TOO 02:01:06 Woman: Yup, because sometimes as the kids are playing games, you know they might... a toy might inadvertently, or perhaps on purpose be thrown against the horse. So we wanna make sure that they don't mind that and so they have to be okay with things flying all around at them. You can see for his first day here he's looking a round, he doesn't seem too extremely upset about anything... 02:01:32 WHAT'S HIS NAME? 02:01:33 Woman:... a pretty good first response. His name is bartender's bowtie 01:07:24 Cindy - we have some riders here, one who wouldn't speak who said her first word on the horse. So there are huge benefits that parents attribute that they might otherwise not have seen. They're mostly very enthusiastic. There's always a smile on their face. You can have a rider who's having a bad day and they get on the horse and that's all gone. See kid working with group Chip Sign off Tag The UNH Therapeutic Riding Program runs three times a year.
