Objective: There is minimal research on equine programming, where the caregivers participate in the therapeutic program. This study looks at the effects of caregivers participating with individuals with autism in therapeutic horseback riding to focus on communication and teamwork skills to help improve home and community life. Methods: Caregivers completed a pre-survey before implementation. Implementation of communication skills lasted over three weeks. At the end of the three weeks, the researcher and the caregiver completed a post-interview to review the program. Results: Two riders with a primary diagnosis of ASD and their caregivers participated in the project. Two riders and caregivers completed the pre-survey, and two riders and caregivers completed the post-interview. Parents stated they saw minimal improvement in communication skills with the rider during the program. Conclusions: Further research is needed to determine the most effective route for using this type of program.
