Student-led equine program supporting neurodiverse children in Shanghai
RDA Diary entry 14. 6/8
We played a game called “Red Light, Green Light.” Red meant stop the horse with the reins, and green meant let the reins go so the horse could walk. Daniel chose a hula hoop as his “steering wheel.” At first, he would not use it, and was a bit stubborn about it but after a few minutes of encouragement he started to turn it slowly. His reaction was delayed, but it was progress. At the end, he patted the horse’s neck on his own.
