    HI,

    Thanks for sharing. I never knew horses help with ASD but i know that cats definitely help.

    I only found out when I got the leaflet from my counsellor.
    It's well worth checking out, I might ring them after Christmas. One thing, I wonder what, or if, they charge.
    Recommend anyone with ASD like me, to have a look at this though.

    Hi @Franstrahan, thank you for sharing this! My brother has Autism and we have been on various summer residential with other families which has been centred around horses. They really are some of my fondest memories.

    The charity that provided them is Autism Angels which is based in North Yorkshire.

    Never realised this about horses. I will check out your link. Think this is something I'm going to try for myself.

    We thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great for my brother!
