Hi my name is Meg and I'm twenty and have had seizurus for ten yrs. The Doc's have diagnosed me with JME now uncontrolled by meds. I have grand mals about every two weeks, myoclonics every morning and peti mals. Which I don't see literally as much but it hurts my family, hey it could be worse. Never once in my life have I had any sort of seizure around horses and I've been around them my whole life (live on a farm in Fl.) I've even seen kids paralyzed in a limb move it. If you have a theraputic riding center around you or are able to take lessons I'd do it what could it hurt? I mean that's how I felt about the vns...then I got it taken out when it did't. :) oh well love ya ~meg
