Is there an easy way to find someone who lets people use their horses for therapy?

Question

I have not been in great shape from diabetes & grief. I have always loves animals & someone suggested I get horse therapy...Someone in my area did this years ago but I don't know where he lives or lived. How can I find this info. From what I understand I would ride the horse & it would help me get better. Just the thought of it makes me feel better.

Answer 1

yes try this website www.narha.org  they should have a list of barns that they accredit. if you are in the kokomo area by chance email me at [e-mail] and i can recomend a barn

Answer 2

in our area there is this lovely barn for that, people let the program use their horses for therapy.  they have train prof and have a whole big program in general for kids.  it is mainly for kids, but i'm sure if someone older wanted to go to them they'd accept. (by kids i mean 8-15) older i mean anyone over 18.

go to anywho.com, google.com, or go to you're local tack store (they're easier to find). ask the people there about barns in the area that do that, i'm sure they'll know of them.

good luck. i gave my first pony to people to use as a therapy horse and she was great.
