Thorncroft Therapeutic Horseback Riding, Inc.
 |
Here is a starting point for a study of Therapeutic Horseback Riding. These books and papers are not selected on the basis of being consistant with Thorncroft's philosophy, yet of course many of them are. We do have our own library containing works collected by Saunders Dixon and friends over many decades, collectively the knowledge of therapies and horsemanship at Thorncroft is exhaustive. Call or visit us if you are trying to find a particular volume. Go here for more research papers and reviews.
