You will find an article on this URL about a person with PD and the effect horses have on him. Interesting. Were it not for horses, I would probably be in a wheelchair by now. I am not suggesting the course he talks about, I'm only suggesting that, be it horses, dogs, pigs, or whatever you think you might relate to, a relationship with a species of domesticated animal can be good for the PD soul. http://phn.com.au/Healthy.htm -- Do all your Holiday Shopping from home!
