How does Horseback Riding help kids with Cerebral Palsy when coupled with conventional therapy?

Have you ever heard of using horseback riding as therapy for injured or handicapped people? Riding horses can help alleviate all kinds of physical and mental problems. The way a horse moves, the way they walk, four legs striking the ground at different, independent times allows for the horses body to swing, but still keep a balanced spine. That swing helps to make strong muscles if used correctly.
