Description
Presented by Helen Spence.
Helen discusses a case involving a pony who bucked three times within a week, causing her young rider to fall from her. The pony then subsequently became very fearful of the child, the tack and being in the stable with a human. Helen discusses the case in terms of fear, phobia and trauma, looking closely at the history and the subsequent treatment and behaviour modification. She discusses whether or not cases involving children should be treated differently from those with adults, how we manage the restrictions due to size of pony, ability of rider etc. It will also include the importance of safeguarding, thinking about how we manage expectations, and awareness and understanding of the problem for both children and parents.
