"Throughout history, humans have recognized the horse’s ability to heal minds and bodies. The horse has been used as a therapeutic agent since the days of ancient Greece. Over time, the use of horses for therapy and rehabilitation gained popularity, and therapeutic riding programs proliferated worldwide, beginning in 1943 in Denmark, the birthplace of therapeutic riding, and continuing in England in the 1950s. Since the 1990s, equine therapy has expanded rapidly in the United States and Europe." ~ 2022 PubMed Article
