The healing bond between humans and horses has been recognized for thousands of years.  In recent years, it has expanded to become a real treatment tool in a recognized specialty called hippotherapy. So, now we have well trained therapeutic riding instructors who are making great strides in helping children and adults with disabilities or other challenges. Heather Hernandez is a therapeutic instructor at Texas Tech.  She is here to talk about the upcoming golf tournament held on September, 29th.  For more information about the golf tournament, visit www.afs.ttu.edu/ttrc, or call 806-785-2564.
