Horses are different from humans and do not have the same thinking ability as humans.We as people must think about how to use the intelligence of the horse to bring it to an understanding of what we want it to do. Horses work best in groups and when taught right will listen and respect a human trainer. Horses use the fight or flight method that are used for human needs. Horses are taught to rely on humans whether or not to fight or flight is the response and not to react on instinct. Like most animals, a young horse will
Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination. NHS urge parents to ensure their children receive the vaccination. This shows that many parents are sceptical to the vaccinations, what might have negative consequences for children.

Stem cell therapy is a new treatment option for injured horses. The treatment is offered for various types of injuries and is actively being researched to expand its uses. There are several different simple procedures to obtain the stem cells which can help tendon or other injuries in athletic equines are often career-ending. Not only can the use of stem cell therapy help prevent the progression of lesions, but it has also given hope to owners with horses battling tendon injuries, which is why this treatment is so important to the horse industry. Stem cell therapy is safe and lowers the horse’s risk of re-injury.
The use of animals in therapy for mental health patients has been documented as early as 1792. Animal-assisted therapy is described as one or more companion animal being present in the therapy room during a session. Studies showing the use of animals in therapy generate positive results in the treatment of psychological and physical symptoms in diverse patients. The use of horses as an approach to animal-assisted therapy has used to treat a variety of psychological problems.1 This is because the horse evokes some sort of emotion in everyone and for many the response is powerful, which makes the horse a perfect candidate for psychotherapy. Equine Assisted Experiential Therapy is defined as a psychotherapeutic program or session using 1 or more horses as part of the psychotherapeutic team.2 Qualitative and quantitative results have been found to prove that horses do indeed improve patients psychological problems in the research preformed by Bradley Klontz, Alex Bivens, Deb Leinart and Ted Klontz.
While there are human characters that speak, the fact the horses are not anthropomorphised makes the film much more poignant. Despite the fact the horses communicate through looks and natural horse sounds, like Spirit did in the beginning of the film when he neighed a warning to two foals that a cougar was about to attack them, there are times when Spirit voices his thoughts. Due to the fact his voice is not often heard throughout the film, when he does speak his words that much more impactful. A good example of this lies in the end of the film, after an intense chase scene between antagonist ‘The Colonel’ and the duo Spirit and Little Creek, when the horse and young man are stuck at the top of a canyon with what seems to have no escape. When Spirit eyes the gap that lies between them and the open plain on the other side, Little Creek realizes what Spirit is considering.
It is not always easy to know what to say to the family member with leukemia, especially when they are young children with a thousand questions and you have no answers. There are many online support groups, phone call centers and even local support groups that you can contact at almost any time of the day or night. 1-800-4-CANCER or http://www.cancer.gov/help are both part of the National Cancer Institute’s help lines and are available 24/7 and are also available in Spanish and for the hearing impaired (Leukemia, 2013). They truly are there for anyone,
Running head: The Medicated Child The Medicated Child Abstract In this report, I am going to place my views on a PBS television documentary called Frontlines, The Medicated Child. The documentary show the large increase in children who have the diagnosis of ADHD that are believed by many doctors to be misdiagnosed and indeed thought to have bipolar disorder. I will express my viewpoint on prescribing anti-psychotic medications and my disbelief on the parents of these children. The Medicated Child The video on the Medicated Child made me mad and quite sad that there are parents in this world that are so willing to give their children anti-psychotic medications with little or no knowledge on what they are putting in their bodies. It was stated several times that these anti-psychotic medications are used to treat adults with bipolar disorder and their side effects have never been studied in children, so these parent are using their children as what I would call a “lab rat” some sort of science experiment, unbelievable!
Child abuse does not only include physical abuse. Dr. Frank Putnam of the National Institute of Mental Health and Dr. Martin Teicher of Harvard Medical School, “studied 170 girls, 6-15 years old. The girls who experienced corporal punishment had symptoms such as abnormally high stress hormones, which can kill neurons in brain areas crucial for thinking and memory, and high levels of an antibody that weakens the immune system” (Self-growth). Taylor’s mom states that her daughter, “[is] more humiliated and embarrassed than anything” (FOX NEWS). Taylor did not only endure phyisical injuries, she was also a victim of emotional distress.
Challenging activities on the horse improve the child’s balance, muscle control, coordination, and posture. The horse serves as a motivator and children benefit in many areas including self-esteem, self-confidence, emotional stability, and self- image. This paper also looks at the other applications of horse therapy, including therapy for veterans, elders, foster care children and children with heart disease. This paper discusses the limitations in the studies that have been done, and the reasons that horse therapy is not yet a mainstream treatment. Despite some limitations in the research, there is ample evidence to conclude that horse therapy is an effective treatment for children with disabilities.
