Horseback Riding

I'm thinking of teaching underadvantaged kids to ride horses. I have a huge property and most of it is going to waste. I have seen reports recently on children with Autism getting better when around horses. Do you think it's a good idea?

I think it sounds like a wonderful idea! However, a lot of work and funds would have to go into it of course. You have to decide how broad a scope your definition of "underadvantaged" entails (when I first read it, I thought you meant kids from impoverished homes) and if you work with children with special needs, you will obviously need to hire experienced and educated individuals, as well as figure out what other legalalities you need to look into.

Good luck with it, should you decide to go for it!
