Linda Watson, Pretty Pony
Pastures in Michigan, selected Haflingers for their therapeutic
riding program based on an article by Barbara T. Engel, OTR which
appears in Therapeutic Riding 1 Strategies for Instruction book
states "The rhythm of a child is different from the rhythm of
an adult. Children, generally, cannot accommodate the long strides
of an average to large horse. In Germany, Switzerland and Austria,
one frequently sees the use of small horses - such as the New
Forrest, Connemare and Haflinger." It goes on to say the Dr.
Ingrid Strauss's book Hippotherapy 1995 states that a majority of
children being treated are on Haflingers. |
