Research supports claims of benefits of therapeutic riding for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, the effect of specific subtypes of therapeutic riding (eg, therapeutic riding drill team) has been underinvestigated. Furthermore, the theories underlying therapeutic riding programs have not been well reported, especially among studies with children with ASD. This study used qualitative data from interviews to determine which aspects of Bandura's self-efficacy were evident among participants in a 16-week therapeutic riding drill team program. Results provided evidence of the presence of selfefficacy among participants during the program. Results of this study may be used to help recreational therapists target aspects of self-efficacy in therapeutic programs for children with ASD as a way to increase self-efficacy.

Ten women with autism spectrum disorder participated in oral interviews in order to share their experiences since their diagnosis and to discuss the factors that had enabled them to achieve success in different aspects of their life. Participants were encouraged to share their perspectives on their success and to discuss the challenges they encountered in their daily lives and how they overcame these. Interviews were analysed using a narrative-themed approach. Participants indicated that both internal and external factors enabled them to achieve success in different aspects of their lives. These included being an agent of change, a changed identity after diagnosis, experiencing the belief of others in their capability and seeing themselves as a mentor to others. Their experiences with overcoming obstacles in their lives enabled them to develop self-efficacy and to shape their own success.
