That sounds fascinating! I've heard about using horses for people with all kinds of dis-abilities, as well as other animals. I used to work in an adult day care center with seniors with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. Once a month owners with their trained dogs would come in and have the dogs sit quietly, allowing the seniors to pet them or just observe them. Time and again I saw withdrawn seniors respond positively to the dogs, some smiling and interacting with the animals in ways they never interacted with people.
I think we often underestimate the healing abilities of our animal brethren.
Thanks for sharing this!
