Make content about: Olivia found her voice riding Solly
Olivia used to retreat indoors when routines changed. Riding Solly the pony gave her a voice and growing confidence.
This story
When eleven-year-old Olivia started at a new school, unfamiliar routines made her anxious and she preferred staying indoors with her iPad. Her school introduced her to hippotherapy with a pony named Solly, helping her relax and build balance and coordination. She now greets the riding team with smiles, vocalises during faster rides, and brings newfound confidence and communication back to her classroom.
Where you could take it
Join Olivia for a therapy session with Solly to see how she interacts with the pony and the team.
