Conquering goals is important to Northern Michigan Equine Therapy and we’ve seen many overcome over the years. Our first bright star was a young lady who made great strides overcoming a neurological disorder where changes in textures were intolerable. On her first session of hippotherapy (equine assisted therapy) she ran from the concrete aisle way onto grass without concern. Then there is Zander. This rock star has Pitt Hopkins Syndrome and was told he would never walk. After his fifth session Zander walked from “Adele” (therapy horse) to his mother’s waiting arms for the first time (not a dry eye in the place). It was his fifth birthday too.
