Article Excerpt: Equine Therapy and Social Work: A Winning Combination
by Marian Swindell, Ph.D.
(Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from an article from the Winter 2010 issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER. Read the full article at:
http://www.socialworker.com/home/Feature_Articles/Professional_Development_%26_Advancement/Equine_Therapy_and_Social_Work%3A_A_Winning_Combination/
Therapeutic riding is a great way to see remarkable changes in social work clients. Many social workers are now looking to alternative methods to assist our clients. One remarkable program that is yielding phenomenal results is therapeutic horseback riding. Research shows this form of therapy works wonders with almost every social work population: children, teens, juvenile delinquents, physically challenged, developmentally delayed, blind, deaf, and all forms of abuse. The explanation for the success rate is simple. A special bond is formed between a child and a horse. Children who have not progressed in a conventional therapeutic setting often excel with therapeutic riding. Children will tell a horse things they would never tell a therapist. A child will share secrets, thoughts, failures, setbacks, wishes, dreams, and goals with a horse. And the horse will never tell. Children know this and, therefore, open up more with horses than with parents, teachers, friends, pastors, and conventional therapists. Children will attempt different physical challenges because they feel the support of the horse underneath them.
According to the National American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA, 2002), therapeutic riding “uses equine-oriented activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of people with disabilities” (p. 5). Over-activity, distractibility, autism, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disturbances, and anger issues are all appropriate problems for therapeutic riding.
There are two types of therapeutic horsemanship: therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. The difference between the two types is that hippotherapy requires a medical professional, such as a physical, speech, or occupational therapist. Therapeutic riding requires a certified riding instructor.
In hippotherapy, riders meet with the therapist one-on-one for about 30-45 minutes. In therapeutic riding, riders usually meet in groups with the certified riding instructor for about 45 minutes. In both types, there are several volunteers, also known as “side walkers,” who help the person get on and off the horse and walk beside the horse the entire time to prevent any injury. The side walkers must also complete an intense training course.
In addition to riding the horse, the client also is encouraged to complete certain tasks, also referred to as “games.” A physically challenged rider may be ask to throw a small ball through a hoop, throw a Frisbee into a barrel, or reach and ring a bell. A mentally challenged rider may be asked to count how many times the horse walks around the gate or to count how many barrels there are in the arena. All tasks have a specific therapeutic goal. Many times, the riders are asked to answer questions aloud as well as get the horse to respond to a verbal command—all simultaneously. This provides both a physical challenge and a mental one.

Female Beggary
By Zia Ullah Akhunzada, MSW
Pakistan is a developing country and, as a consequence, faces a wide array of social problems: educational, economical, political, religious, and a number of internal ethnic conflicts. Besides these important issues, there are a number of human and female rights issues that need immediate attention, such as the ever growing numbers of female beggars.
Female beggary is a blot on Pakistan, and immediate, practical, and sustainable measures need to be taken to halt this menace, which is gnawing at the very roots of the country. Females look at beggary as an easy and valid source of making money. They have formed their nexus and, because of them, a horrifying image of our country is being portrayed. They are even indulging in the serious nature of anti-social elements, posing serious hidden threats to the citizens of Pakistan. They use infants for begging and try to create sympathy. They feed the infants drugs and sedatives, which is a serious matter.
A large number of female beggars can be seen in the local transport. These beggars have a long lasting impact on the social atmosphere of the country. Most of the females begging in the local transport have prostitution as a side business and are using begging as a means of advertisement for prostitution. The aged females work as brokers in this process.
Presently, female beggary has changed its shape and is heading toward crimes. Female beggars of all ages have been found to be involved in different criminal activities. Adultery and other crimes are also spreading under the guise of female beggary. The activities of these criminals are gaining momentum in the society. Female pickpockets ride in the public transport and rob the passengers. These criminals also strike in different shopping centers and markets. The middle-aged and young female criminals throng the thickly populated bazaars of the city and deftly rob lady customers. Some gangs of female beggars target houses in different localities to commit crime. They visit these areas regularly for many days and thoroughly survey each and every house, and then on the advice of the gang leader, a time is set to commit theft in one or more of the houses. The robbery is carried out in the morning, when the males are not at home. Whenever the female beggars commit such an activity in any area, they are accompanied by their male gang members, who remain in the vicinity to handle any untoward situation.
Impacts of Female Beggary
Female beggary has become an activity worrying the society and may result in the dissemination of crime and threaten security in the states. Female beggary has immediate and long-term effects on society. It impairs social development and robs the conducive environment needed for development. Begging makes people feel unsafe. It changes their behavior and prevents them from using services and public spaces.
Female beggars have numerous effects on society. Some of them are mentioned below.
1: Loss of Respect for Females
One of the main results of female beggary is that it brings down the status of females in society. Traditionally, females are considered as one of the highly respectable classes of our society, but because of the menace of beggary, people look down on them as a result of their cheap and degrading role.
2: Security Threats
Female beggars and suspicious persons crowd around mosques at the time of Friday congregations, posing serious threats to mosque goers. Citizens often complain about the huge number of female beggars sitting at the entrances of mosques and creating a security problem. Meanwhile, beggars at different chowks and in bazaars also pose security threats to the commuters.
3: Criminal Propensities
Numerous females having criminal propensities are organized under the umbrella of beggary and are actively involved in crimes. The females often visit homes and, in many cases, they also use intoxicants for capturing the prey. In a great many cases, female beggars rob even the infants from hospitals.
4: Drug Carriers
Most females involved in female beggary are not soliciting because of poverty, but they are doing it as their pastime. They are always in an attempt to make as much money as possible, and for this purpose, they are employing every available tactic. An overwhelming number of female beggars are also involved in drug trafficking. They easily deceive law enforcement agencies as they mostly make drastic modifications in their appearance. Hence, one social problem gives rise to another severe social problem.
5: Encouraging Prostitution
The most serious impact of female beggary on society is that it encourages prostitution. The female beggars in the local transport are the major contributors in this regard. They encourage in the sense that they are offering sexual intercourse in return for a meager amount, which the customer easily pays.
6: Sexually Transmitted Disease Carriers
Most of the female beggars involved in prostitution are not aware of safe sex. They are offering sexual intercourse without any safety mechanism. As a result, many diseases are transmitted from one person to another.

National Social Work Month—March 2010
Social Work Month is coming in March! This year’s theme, announced by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), is “Social Workers Inspire Community Action.”
Here are a few ideas for Social Work Month:
1. Pat yourself and your colleagues on the back!
2. Write an article or letter to the editor about social workers, and submit it to your local newspapers.
3. Make a presentation to non-social work staff in your agency to educate them about your role as a social worker, how clients can benefit from your services, and how they can refer clients to you.
4. Show pride in your profession of social work by wearing a social work t-shirt or button.
5. Show your appreciation to colleagues by sending them social work greeting cards.
