The administrative staff at the Good Hope Equestrian
Training Center (GHETC) was responsible for administering
all informed consent forms. Each child in the
treatment group received a therapeutic riding session for
1 h per week over the span of 12 weeks. Two sessions had
to be rescheduled because of poor weather conditions.
Although horse assignments were initially randomized,
some adjustments were made based on the size and weight
of the participant.
