Abstract
The authors share their several-years-long clinical experience in the introduction of horse-assisted therapy to patients of the Adolescent Department, Second Psychiatric Clinic, Łódź Medical Academy. They present their own model of medical documentation of therapeutic progress. Despite its many positives, horse-assisted therapy, a form of hippotherapy, is still a very unpopular form of therapeutic intervention and therefore there is a great need to develop a realistic program for this form of therapy in Poland.
