Courses taught at Texas Tech University in Therapeutic Riding:

ANSC 3309: Principles of Therapeutic Riding

This course is an interdisciplinary overview of therapeutic riding with a primary
emphasis on using the horse as therapy.  Students will learn through lecture
taught by Dr. Heidi Brady and therapists involved in the laboratory therapy
sessions.  In laboratory the students have the opportunity to work with many
wonderful children, along side many well trained instructors and therapists.
  Speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy is the primary focus of
each laboratory session.  This course gives students a magnificent opportunity
