Tiger, a chestnut Arab horse with a white stripe down his face

Tiger helps Aiden eat his first vegetable

What his OT hasn't managed in almost a year, Tiger did in one session.

Tasha, Aiden's mum

Aiden wanted to bring Tiger a carrot after another rider gave him one the week before. After his ride, with Tiger's bridle off, Aiden decided he would eat a carrot together with his beloved horse.

It was the first vegetable Aiden had ever eaten. His occupational therapist had been working on food for almost a year without success.

Aiden now eats carrots at home, which opens the door to trying other vegetables. "Thank you, Tiger. Equine therapy really does work in multiple areas of a challenging life."
