SAT Writing Passage Title: Hippotherapy: Improving Lives One Horse at a Time

Annually, over 58,000 people benefit from Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT)-activities including, but not limited to, grooming and riding horses-as treatment for a wide range of cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments. Hippotherapy, a specific type of EAT, is used to treat patients with   1  neuro-motor, and sensory dysfunctions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Down Syndrome, and autism. Patients begin by riding horses under the direction of a physiotherapist and horse handler. The gait, tempo, and cadence of the horse’s movement  2  serves to stimulate the patient’s vestibular system (the inner ear and brain regions responsible for balance), causing motor responses that can improve postural stability, strength, and sensory awareness.

Since it was first introduced in the 1960s, hippotherapy has been adopted by a number of professions-such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology-to improve patients’ physical and mental health. Professionals interested in incorporating hippotherapy into their treatment sessions first  3  obtain certification from the American Hippotherapy Association (AHA) or the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH). Then, after at least three years of experience in hippotherapy, a professional can also choose to become a Certified Hippotherapy Clinical  4  Specialist; a designation that facilitates teaching, research, and development of new hippotherapy practices.

As hippotherapy generates more attention among the medical community and public-at-large, the demand for licensed practitioners is quickly expanding   5  According to the US Department of Labor, professions that incorporate hippotherapy are forecasted to grow significantly in the next decade: physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language pathology have projected ten-year growth rates of 36 percent, 29 percent, and 19 percent, respectively. A career in hippotherapy thus offers the opportunity to both improve the quality of life for countless individuals and to become involved in a new and rapidly growing field.
