Horses and Autism

A not so widely known fact is that horses have the capability of helping children with autism. Therapy  Riding has been done for some time for children with physical limitations to help them regain balance and coordination.  In more recent times it has been discovered that horses can have the same affect on autistic children as dolphins do.  They connect with horses on a level that they often do not connect with other humans.  Horses have the ability to mirror our feelings back to us.  They are very intuitive and sensitive creatures.

Their ability to help autistic children gives just one more excellent reason why horses should NEVER be on the menu.  They are more than mere "meat", they are more than just mere animals.  They are angels with hooves.  They are magical creatures, with wonderful souls and have the ability to heal us.  What more could one ask of anything?
