Susan de Meyer’s horses have different effects on different children. Hyperactive kids learn to be a little quieter around them while non-verbal children are moved to communicate and to bond with them.
De Meyer runs a program in the southern African country of Namibia that harnesses the power but also the gentleness of horses to help children with learning disabilities and conditions like ADHD and autism.
