The West Side News reports on the benefits of hipportherapy for disabled children; a friend’s daughter started this sport some months ago and has been enjoying it:
….[hipportherapy's] techniques involve more than just putting a child in saddle and walking him around a riding ring.
Participants ride forward, backwards, and sideways in an effort to strengthen different muscle groups and experience the horse’s movements differently.
Something tells me you can horseback ride on a Wii, or not?
