Many studies support hippotherapy as a treatment strategy in occupational therapy. Data from semi- structured interviews of relevant stakeholders and clinicians that utilize hippotherapy as a treatment strategy were analyzed using thematic analyses. Results yield promise for development of an evidence-based program in a rural, underserved location.
