Sixteen special-needs children attended the third annual
horsemanship camp at the stables on New Avenue in San Martin. For a
week, the children received therapy while riding, learning how to
improve their balance, strength and dexterity. Observing how a
horse responds to body movements and tone of voice can help
reinforce the power of calm, assertive behavior over a tendency
toward aggressive or anxious engagements, according to DreamPower’s
director and founder Martha McNiel.
