The child is RB Bruce who has been a student at Kids & Horses for several months and his dad is Rob Bruce, a PGA Golf pro on the staff of the Championship Course in Incline Village, NV. RB’s story begins, at age two and a half, when developmental delays were detected. With doctor’s advice, RB began a series of therapies. At age 4, his vocabulary was limited to 25 to 35 words. Now, at age 6, it is a little over 100 and growing. During therapy, the horse works the core muscles and gives sensory input. While on his therapy horse, RB and his team play games and he is required to recognize numbers, letters and shapes as well as use his words to guide the horse. “Whoa” and “Walk On” are now part of his vocabulary. Rob said, “In the five weeks he has been riding, I have seen exponential improvement in his articulation and muscle strength.” Rob cited the loving, caring and compassionate staff that makes Kids & Horses so special. The proceeds from the Golf Tournament will be dedicated to the Scholarship Fund. Doug Brimm, CEO, declares, “With our newly upgraded facility and the addition of two licensed therapists, we stand ready to double our enrollment by mid-2017.” Kids & Horses, Inc. provides adaptive riding lessons, physical therapy and occupational therapy. They serve individuals of all ages. Kids & Horses, Inc., established in 1999, has continuously operated at the Double W Ranch in Minden, NV. In 2013, the program bought the ranch. www.kidsandhorses.org; Face Book; email
