Why equine therapy? eli5

Some days ago I was wondering why horses are used for therapy? How did it all started? Can the therapy be performed with any other animal? If yes, why are horses special?

Animal therapy is done with all types of animals. Basically it has to be a domestic animal that people can pet or hold. So no tigers or fish.

Since managing therapy animals is not a big money maker but done by people who want to to it, generally the animal chosen is the type of animal they like.
