Re: [RC] Scoliosis - Truman PrevattSeveral years ago a young 8 y.o. boy was diagnosed with scoliosis. His mother asked about getting him riding lessons. The MD said there is no way he should be near a horse. Well his mother didn't listen. She got him riding lessons on a nice calm school horse. Next thing they get his a horse to ride with his dad. Next thing at about 10 he is doing LDs. Next he is doing endurance. This kid is the best rider I have ever seen. I sponsored him several times (when dad could not make it) and (much to the discuss of his mother) we have hand more than one balls to the wall race at the finish.Roll forward, he is a Junior at Cornell and is one of the best Polo players in the Ivy League. He never touched a Polo mallet till he got to college, but boy can he ride a horse. If anything riding has helped the scoliosis.
