Editor's Notes
Horse care begins with grooming your horse on a regular basis. This allows you to regularly check your horse for any skin irritations, cuts, swelling or unusual signs. It is important to contact your veterinarian if you find any sign or symptom questionable.

Adults and children make significant progress by taking advantage of Equine Therapy. They gain strength, balance, and ability to advance in fine motor skills. Bonding with a horse helps individuals grow physically, mentally and emotionally and build a trust that they could never imagine. Individuals with developmental disabilities, cognitively, emotionally, physically as well as impairments caused from an accident, trauma and post traumatic stress find success, self worth, encouragement and accomplishment from working with therapeutic horses and trainers.
Through 4-H and cloverbud clubs, young children learn to bond with horses, other children and adults. Along the way they also gain knowledge and responsibility to support them in the future.
