Horses

I have done therapeutic horse back riding forever!

I love it because I am free.

I can ride without holding on to the reigns.

I can fly when we trot. 

Always, people are surprised by my skill tell them it is from years of physio and practice. 

It feels so great when I am up on Chopper or the other horses I've ridden. 

Sometimes there are small children riding when I am riding, 

or watching their siblings. 

That is hard for me.

When people expect me to be able to use my hands

or to stretch my arms on my own-that can be pretty frustrating. 

The volunteers are usually great when I tell them a little about myself.

I am so glad that Sarah and I can still do this together - it is a special time for us.
