ที่มา/ความสำคัญโครงการ :

An autistic kid usually has a problem about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) in a daily life and interaction with other people. However, there are a lot of rooms for them to be improved. Some countries have used a horse – more than hundreds years ago - to treat an autistic kid in order to improve the condition by riding a horse and doing various activities on a horse’s back. As a horse has a similar walking step like a human, there are a lot of benefits for an autistic kid. Firstly, when autistic kids sit on a horse’s back, somehow they can practice walking by themselves. Secondly, doing something – activities - on a horse’s back also helps autistic children in terms of rehabilitation. And thirdly, autistic children can also learn on how to control their emotions as a horse can communicate to a raider.

Sarayut Kaikan, a horse instructor and owner of a small farm in Lopburi, has opened this course since he realized that a horse could effectively treat an autistic kid. Firstly, an autistic kid will be trained to be familiar with a horse such as calling its names, approaching, touching and feeding foods to a horse. Secondly, an autistic kid will learn how to sit properly on a horse’s back. In the second step, the kids must have a high concentration in order to control themselves - because basically people are all scared a horse, and that is why they need to learn how to sit carefully. After that stage, a brain will motivate muscles working to decrease its stretchiness. And when a horse moves, the kids tend to be alert and have a concentration to orderly balance their bodies. The more they practice like this, the longer they have a concentration. In addition, children will also be motivated to talk effectively by commanding a horse, and every step of training will be fully focused by an expert.

Even thought this kind of treatment will not perfectly heal autistic children, it will help children to have equilibrium; reduce aggressiveness; enhance mental and physical development; have a capacity in terms of problem solving; and better live in a society.
