Butte Special Riders offers hippotherapy to children with disabilities. The group is composed of about fifty kids, each special in their own way. They spend their entire week looking forward to Monday mornings, when they meet with their best friends; Bailey, Christopher Robin, and Chipmunk. These are just a few of the horses that help each of these children through hippo therapy. Hippotherapy is the technique used at the Kissock Horse Center (KHC) to aid the progress of children with various disabilities, including Down's Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and other learning disabilities.
Butte Special Riders also receives help from the North American Riding Association for the Handicapped and United Way, providing that they meet at least 90 percent of the standards. Through United Way, KHC is fully insured.
