Hippotherapy - How do I find out if people are registered

Hello, I'm looking to use Hippotherapy but wondered if the people offering the services are registered. How do I find out? Is it regulated? I went to view one physio who used this technique with her horses, however she had to take the horses to use another arena - the arena was very tatty with bits of material sticking through the sand. Are these things monitored?

Have you seen the information about Hippotherapy on the Scope website? From there you can link to further information about this type of physiotherapy. I haven't been able to find anything about regulation of services so do check with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, they may know more about this. Details in the link.
