Reader Question about Therapeutic Horse Riding Programs
Anyone with information for Mike Howard is invited to contact him at 208-880-1902.
Dear Friends, At Blazing Hope Youth Ranch we have a 4 year old with no arms or hands and a 5 year old with only arms that work-hands are non-functioning. Do you know of people with these disabilities who ride or who have ridden in the past? Is there any literature or pictures we could provide these Children? Thank you, Mike Howard of Blazing Hope in Nampa, Idaho.

My daughter, who has autism, did the PATH (Palouse Area Therapeutic Horsemanship) program through WSU in Pullman for several years. She loved it.
You can get more information at http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-pppp/PATH.aspx
There is a lot of information, pictures and literature through this site, including a video that shows people (including Sophie) riding.
Feel free to contact me at revjeannette@msn.com if you have any questions.

I volunteer at Blazing Hope and my brother who has Autism loves it there. We come twice a month to volunteer. It is helpful and builds responsibility. Call to volunteer!
