horse riding

Yeah blogger is back to normal.

There was an article in today's papers about the benefits of horse riding for children with special needs, and I completely agree. Horses, with the right temperament in the right environment, have a gentle nature that soothes, and all children love spending time with animals.

I've also been reading Sutherland, and he says that horse riding can help to free up the sacrum as the two innominates (bony bits of your bum) are fixed so the sacrum can be articulated by the movement of the horse. In children with special needs and even in regular folk, sometimes the sacrum is stuck and this affects the mobility of the entire spine, as well as the function of the pelvic organs. So perhaps there is a physical reason as to why horse riding is so beneficial.
