Horse therapy aids boy's mobility

"The parents of a four-year-old with a rare genetic disorder say he is being helped by horse riding. Dyfan Wynne, from Wrexham, is the only known child in Britain with the condition called 'Chromosome 8 deletion'. It has left him with poor eyesight, learning difficulties and the need for heart operations. But hippotherapy, physiotherapy on horseback, has helped him learn to walk and increased his self-confidence. The youngster progressed so well with the hippotherapy sessions that he is now in the 'vaulting' classes - effectively gymnastic movements on horseback" - BBC
