A research survey of therapeutic riding studies was conducted and general problems experienced by researchers were identified and are discussed briefly. Many researchers mentioned the discrepancy between the quantitative and the qualitative results. A possible explanation for this discrepancy is given.

This project reports the effects of equine therapy for the adult with multiple sclerosis (MS). Survey methodology was used to report information about the physical and psychological changes experienced by 8persons with MS who engage in horseback ridingfor therapeutic benefits. Descriptive techniques were used to analyze data from the survey participants. Responses obtained from the surveys were totalled and percentages compared. The literature review presents the symptoms and treatment interventions associated with the disease including the equine treatment techniques of hippotherapy and therapeutic riding. The model of human occupation is presented to establish the role of the occupational therapist when providing equine therapy treatment. Facts and information are reported on 8 horseback ridingfacilities in northern California who provide horseback riding therapy.

Through applying Therapeutic Riding we have met up with all sorts of phenomena which, in our opinion, are best explained by the existence of bioenergy informational processes. The supposed bioenergy informational system consists of subsystems: the protective energy covering of the body - the aura; the system of energy centers - the chakras; the system of acupuncture meridians, points and microsystems of the ear, foot, etc. We have based our conclusions on both the theoretical work of the professional public /supposed existence of sensors for very low magnetic field! and our own practical experiences. In our opinion, during therapeutic riding exist transfer from energy field of the horse to the patient and vice versa with a energy complementation on the patient. Also we suppose an important effect on the first chakra and we predict an acupressure stimulation of acupuncture meridians and points.

"Physically, movement is not more than a visible and mathematically definable change of location during a certain time. " (F.J.Buytendijk) "For man and animal movement is an expression (sign) of life." (F.J.Buytendijk) These two definitions of movement describe different aspects: a pure jUnctional one and a more experiential aspect. This paper defines movement in its common dimensions like space - time - gravity and reveals a fourth aspect which is important for movement development. This is the movement dialogue as a basic communication means. Like Anna Freud's concept of developmental lines, four movement developmental lines are drawn to unfold an understanding for psychic and psychomotor dimensions of Developmental Riding. A short case study serves as an example for remedial aspects of treatment with the help of horses.

The first part of this paper concerns the development of a system of training for volunteers by The Riding for the Disabled Association of the United Kingdom leading to the Riding for the Disabled Group Instructors and Senior Instructors qualifications which commenced with the Senior Instructors Examination in 198 I. The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Riding for the Disabled (ACPRD) also have a programme of training for this clinical interest group which is validated by Greenwich University and recognised by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists. Before discussing the qualification system it is necessary to determine the objectives of the training. The term "Riding Therapy" has different connotations in different countries. In the United Kingdom RDA understands their objective as providing disabled people with the opportunity of riding and driving to benefit their health and well being. The aim in RDA group rides is to teach riding and for riders to enjoy their riding experience (this also includes stable management).

It is not possible to understand the behaviour of any species unless we first understand the way that species perceives the world about it. Perception is dependent upon the senses. The horse has the same five senses that we do: Visual, Olfactory, Auditory, Tactile, and Gustatory. They differ from ours, however, and the horse, therefore, perceives its world differently than we do. The flightiness of this prey creature would not serve to keep it alive in a natural habitat populated with carnivorous, predatory species unless it could detect their approach. Overwhelmingly, that is the primary function of the horse's senses, just as its anatomical and physiological adaptations must serve to allow the flight response to have the speed to escape danger.

At the Ninth International Therapeutic Riding Congress, held in Denver, CO in July, 1997, two forums were held for the exchange of ideas on issues of education for personnel working in the field of therapeutic riding. In addition, a number of informal discussions were held on the same subject. This paper outlines the subjects discussed at these session, and outlines the steps undertaken by the FRDI to address the issues raised

In describing the behavioural characteristics of the equine species, and in comparing it to other species, I use the term 'other animals'. When I do, I am referring to the other common domestic species with which the American veterinarians are trained (cattle, swine, sheep, goats, dogs and cats). There are, of course, other domestic species which are less cornmon, such as water buffalo, the llama, and the dromedary.

Thefollowing case studies show how specific blocks of hippotherapy, targeted at gait improvements, were used successfully to augment usual physiotherapy programme. Two children with cerebral palsy were included in a hippotherapy programme to improve specific aspects of their gait. The hippotherapy was integrated into their existing physiotherapy management and was planned in blocks of 6 - 10 sessions. Each child was jointly assessed by the physiotherapist managing their care and the physiotherapist practising the hippotherapy. The children were reassessed after each block and improvements measured. Both children made significant improvements in their walking pattern.

This paper reviews key variables in a study in progress. The study considers the psychological adjustment of spinal cord injured people. It involves patients with paraplegia and partial tetraplegia who, following residential rehabilitation, are out- patients at the Austin and Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Horse riding is used as the intervention. It is expected that the study will continue over the next 3 years. The results relating to each variable and the patterns of variables will be reported and discussed in the light of the work that has gone before.
