Kirsten started therapeutic riding in May 2004. She rides a small horse or pony for 30 minute sessions. There
are several benefits to horseback riding. It is becoming quite popular as a method of therapy for special need kids.
The main goal is to increase strength and balance in the rider. For Kirsten, it also provides a good stretch in her thigh muscles.
