Through real-life narratives of horses helping people, Therapy Horses explains the different breeds best suited to become therapy animals, and discusses how these lucky animals are trained to carry riders with special needs. Through stories of horses and people working together, children will learn that disabilities do not impede success. Kids will follow therapeutic horses and their riders into the ring, competing in blue-ribbon events in which rider and horse display their skills.
