North Yorks 'horse whisperers' help Japanese families
A mother and daughter team from North Yorkshire are building an international reputation for helping children with autism better their communication skills, by using horses.
Autism affects the way a person relates to, and communicates with others. By pairing the young people with a horse, the aim is to break down those barriers.
Thanks to the success of the programme, the centre is attracting families from as far away as Japan.
