For those interested in learning more about horses and how they can help others, they can also see what therapy riding programs can accomplish, like the "Lift me Up" program - http://www.liftmeup.org/ , the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association - http://www.narha.org/ and the Loudoun County Therapedic Riding program - http://www.ltrf.org here in Virginia.
