Imagine a place where a nonverbal child on the autism spectrum can tell a horse to "walk-on".
Imagine a place where a woman who uses a wheelchair can use a horse's legs to move around instead of her own. Imagine a place where a horse will stop in his tracks and refuses to move until his rider's seizure has passed. |
