Chapter 5 describes the roles that riding center owners and volunteers play in supporting the programs, while chapter 6 is devoted specifically to the horses used in the riding programs. The author describes the qualities, temperament, and training these horses must have in order to participate in therapeutic riding activities.
Unfortunately, the author fails to list or discuss any of these conditions, so the reader is left wondering what those conditions might be. However, the chapter provides directions for mounting and dismounting the horse, and types of adaptive equipment that can be used. The roles and qualifications of the leader, sidewalkers, and backriders also are discussed. In chapters 8, 9, and 12, the author uses individual profiles to highlight features of recreational riding, hippotherapy, and private riding program sessions. Chapter 10 focuses on alternative activities to riding, such as vaulting and carriage driving.

Chapter 11 lists a variety of events for riders interested in competitive equestrian sports. The author uses interviews with the program directors of 2 NARHA centers to illustrate how some programs were started and built. Part II also contains of 14 chapters.
Thirteen of these are individual profiles of children and adults with varying diagnoses and levels of disability who participate in therapeutic riding programs. Each profile is written much like a short story or a feature story in a newspaper, and is told through interviews with parents, instructors, or the clients themselves. Their diagnoses include intrauterine stroke, cerebral palsy, transverse myelitis, Parkinson disease, sensory integrative dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, shaken baby syndrome, spinal cord injuries, sensory damage, infantile strokes from a possible reaction DPT immunization, infantile seizures, Down syndrome, and autism.

The author does not reference specific content in the book with research studies, but there is an appendix that includes a sample list of research studies that support the efficacy of therapeutic horseback riding as a treatment modality for a variety of conditions. The list of studies draws from a wide variety of literature, including some foreign language journals.
This book is very simply written and easy to read. The chapters are as few as 2 and no more than 8 pages long. Part I presents a nice overview of the variety of therapeutic riding activities that are available.
The profiles in part II complement part I, but do not add any new information. There is just enough information, without being overly technical, to make the book worthwhile for the person who is unfamiliar with therapeutic riding activities. Because the content is very basic, however, it is not likely to be of particular benefit to physical therapists looking for more detailed information on practice in this setting.
Parents, friends, or relatives of children and adults with disabilities may find the book useful as an introduction to therapeutic riding activities.

Scott profiles individuals involved in the therapy, including clients whose special needs arose from intrauterine stroke, cerebral palsy, transverse myelitis, Parkinson's disease, paralysis, sensory integration dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, shaken baby syndrome, sensory damage, stroke, seizures, infantile spasms, Down syndrome, and autism. A longitudinal study would potentially show that an extended period in the programme yields more beneficial and more specific outcomes than a shorter stint.
