Texas Tech is using horse back riding as therapy. They started 13 years ago, and it has continually grown. They've grown so much since their start in 1998 that they expanded to a new facility. The center serves four major purposes: research, hippotherapy, therapeutic riding and equine-assisted psychotherapy. Therapy programs reach the community and Texas Tech students by providing both treatment for those in need and hands-on courses for students who are interested in learning how to properly provide these services.
This alternative therapy has been helping many, and the facility is working with organizations like the Special Olympics Equestrian Competition, which Lubbock hosted last year!
