Description
Brown Pony Series: Book Four: The Business of Hippotherapy
Rebecca Cook. Written for therapists who dream of using horses in their professional treatment plan with clients. The book is laid out in a logical manner beginning with section one, called “Common Practice,” formatted as questions and answers about how other therapists offer hippotherapy. Section two introduces “Getting Started” in hippotherapy by presenting ideas on legal structure and limiting liability. Section three provides practical advice regarding the facility and the therapy horses. Many therapists have difficulty charging clients and section four covers budgeting and fee setting. One caveat of offering treatment in a natural environment with multiple support staff and a living animal inevitably is the risk of therapy cancellations and this topic is presented with multiple years of statistics. Finally, the appendix includes dozens and dozens of business form samples.
