helen on on horses helps out kids By HELEN MASON Thanks to the generosity of Terry Johnson manager of Terryson Farms near Stroud students at the Browndale this winter for emotionally disturbed children It runs several houses throughout Barrie and has day school in Allandale as well as reintegration programs in various community schools Johnson felt that riding would be good therapy for students He supplied arena time one afternoon week Browndale rented two horses drove down from Parry Sound toinstruct During the winter we ran two programs of 10 weeks apiece Six children participated in each program Each stu dent was scheduled 40minute riding lesson each week for the 10 weeks Gambriel and Brian Thompson helped with new riders PartiCipants were chosen by staff according to how much they could benefit from the program First program This is the first riding program that the Browndale School has run and the staff are pleased with the results postures Riding forces them to feel where their legs arms seat and back are at all times As students learn to use these over their body actions Youve all seen the rounded shoulders and slack stomachs of insecure people Riding teachers students to relax and stiffen various body parts Pupils gain in body awareness as they learn to ride Learning to ride gives the student feeling of importance He realises he has problems but is capable of controlling horse This success can produce more positive self concept for insecure children Students find its safe to express their emotions around horse They can love him without fear of rejection They learn that the horse is timid and fearful creature lesson for hyperactive children Fear no barrier Timid riders learn to face the fear of large frightening animal They experience that fear doesnt have to he bar rier Their willingness to accept their own fear can help them deal with problems of inadequacy Some students learn to use anger in positive way One riders aggressiveness was needed when he was coupled with dullsided horse He had to use his aggression to give firm definite aids People often carry their emotions in one part of their anatomy Weve all exwrienccd the twinge in otir shoulder or back when faced with something we resent and ant to avoid Riding helps students learn to relax They have to relax in order to stay on Children find the horses movements exhilerating They
