It looks like Danielle Herb is doing great things to help children with ADD and ADHD learn about horses and themselves.
Here’s what she says about "Hide Your Butt":
Hide Your Butt means to move the horse’s butt away from you. In other words get their respect. When we can get a horse’s trust it teaches us so much about our self and what we can do to fix our problems. Kids are very powerful when they believe in themselves and put their minds to accomplishing something and so are horses. When you put them together the outcomes are amazing. Just image what you will get. Synergy and Magic
Wonderful. I have friend that brings his horses to the inner city of Grand Rapids, Mi. so that kids can have a chance to play with them-think I’ll give him a call.
The value of personal responsibility and the grit necessary to take positive action to fix something that you have identified as being out of place can not be underestimated.
