About the Book

The Brown Pony Series Book Four: The Business of Hippotherapy was written primarily for therapists and business managers who are gathering information about operating a therapy business for their human clients that includes partnering with horses in their treatment planning.

The author writes, "When I began offering hippotherapy treatment in 1993, there were no employers and I was compelled to create a private therapy practice. In those early years it felt as though I were forging a path into the unknown."

This book is an accumulation of all the investment, trial and error, and experience from those years, distilled to help you move forward and realize your dreams.

The book is laid out logically ...

  • Beginning with information on Common Practice on how other therapists incorporate hippotherapy
  • Proceeding to a section on "Starting Out, " which highlights the importance of a legal structure, risks and limiting your liability
  • Moving onto hippotherapy specific horse and facility considerations
  • Followed by a section on how to budget and set therapy fees
  • Then an entire chapter on session cancellations
  • And finishing with dozens of samples of business forms

Rebecca Cook is an Occupational Therapist and Equine Professional with over 30 years of experience in the arena. She has authored 12 Steps to Integrity With Your Horse, Saddle Fit Simplified, and is also the author of The Brown Pony Series.
