After a couple of rejections by the App Store reviewers, the Hippotherapy app is finally approved for sale on the iTunes App store.

Here is the description from the iTunes store:

The latest, greatest and only Hypnotic visuals app with a cartoon Hippo. The Hippotherapist takes you through a number of different hypnosis techniques, images and effects attempting to hypnotize.

- Keep an eye on the watch and change the watch image by tapping the screen.

- Spinning hypnotic background visuals that also change by tapping the screen.

- Look into the eyes of the hippotherapist to experience a number of spinning eye effects.

This app for fun only and includes no audio.
WARNING: Hippotherapy is for entertainment purposes only. Do not use this application if you suffer from medical conditions, such as light sensitivity, seizures, or if you are experiencing the munchies. Use this App at your own risk! CAUTION must be taken for those on prescription medication... especially if the medication was not Doctor prescribed.

Hippotherapy is not an actual type of therapy and probably won't hypnotise anyone. But if you end up clucking like a chicken... let us know.
