In 1987, how many American and Canadian therapists traveled to Germany to study hippotherapy?

• A. 12
• B. 18
• C. 24
• D. 30

Answer: (B)

This item tests a specific historical detail about early hippotherapy training. The figure eighteen is the number documented of American and Canadian therapists who traveled to Germany in 1987 to study hippotherapy, reflecting how professionals from North America sought formal education through international exchanges as the field began to standardize. That exact count is what historical records from professional associations around hippotherapy cite for that year, making it the best-supported answer. The other numbers don’t align with the documented archival sources from that period, so they’re less accurate representations of the event.
