@videolver2 you'd have to find a place in your area and ask cause it depends on who they help some help the special needs
I actually volunteer at a therapeutic riding center for the special needs and I've found it helps me a lot with my stress and sometimes even my insomnia

Our program uses horses and ponies depending on the needs of the riders. Our tallest horse is 16 hands and our smallest ride able horse is 12 hands

What levels of CP is this useful for?
Like Class 8 wont benefit as much as class 3 no?
