Summary
This study tests whether spending time with horses can improve quality of life and reduce anxiety in children and teenagers (ages 8-17) who are receiving radiotherapy for cancer. Participants will take part in 10 horse-assisted therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this approach helps them cope better emotionally during treatment.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentle, non-drug way to help children feel better emotionally during cancer treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 22 participants and no control group, so results may not be widely applicable. Some children may be afraid of horses.
