As a healthcare provider, horseman, and NCEFT Board member, my experience came full circle by becoming a patient. I fractured my neck in a horse competition and was paralyzed. After a lengthy stint in a rehab unit and months of in-clinic therapy, I started treatment at NCEFT. My discharge prognosis was wheelchair use for the remainder of my life. Today, I no longer use the wheelchair, walk with canes, and am an independent competitive horseman. I believe that the balance and core strengthening components of hippotherapy provided by NCEFT was (and is) the key reason I can walk today. NCEFT is truly where miracles happen. I encourage you to support NCEFT, so that others may achieve their potential and gain freedom from their limitations.
