3 Words to Describe AWH
Fun, Beneficial, Valuable
Benefits of AWH
It’s the one therapy he truly enjoys. It does a lot to help his posture and walking as the gait of a horse is similar to a person. He’s not shorter than everyone else while riding because he’s not in his wheelchair; he is taller and I imagine that helps with his confidence.
