Four children participated directly in the equine intervention. The four children in the waiting control group received a similar equine intervention after a four-week waiting period. The levels of the hormones cortisol and oxytocin were measured via several saliva samples before and after the intervention units. For the third intervention unit, there was a significant increase in oxytocin levels in three out of four test subjects, but not in the other units. There was a trend towards a decrease in cortisol levels after this intervention unit, which was not significant. The limitations of the study and practical implications are discussed.
