I have been riding with a adapted reins since I was 8 don't really no why up till then I was riding with standard reins.I want to be able to use standard reins. I saw this video on youtube [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWaG04rA04I]‪Kia Stroke‬‏ - YouTube[/ame] and asked my local hospital if Cit can be done in the local area. The answer was NO!! I was chatting with a mate who used to work at spinal unit and he said if you are as decatied as you sound come up to palmston north and I'll find a couch for you so I fly out on sunday to go do a month of cit. hoping to be able hold standard reins at the end of the month.

Also need to find a riding school who will do safety line cantering lessons
 
Hope it works out for you. I've heard riding is great therapy.
 
I hope things go well for you. :)
 
Hoping your program is exactly what you are looking for -- sending good thoughts your way!

How Is CIT Actually Done?
As you can gather from the above, the key intervention in CIMT is forcing a person to use a dysfunctional limb as much as possible. In fact, in stroke survivors who are left with arm dysfunction, the goal is to “force them” to use only the affected arm to perform routine activities such as cooking or getting dressed.
Mittens and arm slings are used to prevent patients from using the intact arm for at least 90% of a person's waking hours. The program carries on for several weeks. In addition, patients participate in intense physical therapy sessions of the affected limb for at least 6 hours per day, up to seven days per week.

Studies have shown that this rigorous program improves function by inducing a functional reorganization of the brain.
