Hippotherapy has nothing to do with hippos.

Jack’s Winning Words 6/24/13
“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”  (John Wayne)  Have you ever heard of hippotherapy?  It refers to the beneficial treatment of disabled people with the help of a horse.  The horse’s rhythmic movement has a calming effect.  My g-daughter once worked with children where therapy horses were stabled.  Gene Autry’s, “Back In the Saddle,” is helpful, too.  “…back where a friend is a friend.”    ;-)  Jack
