Therapeutic Riding lessons 3 and 4.....

We have an ADDICT here, folks....

Faith is having so much fun riding, she is a natural! Two weeks ago they moved her up to a faster horse, Rose. She did great but her heart stayed with Hannah and we were lucky enough to get to go back to her, last week, due to an accidental switch.

Watching Faith on horseback is a spiritual event. Truly, I have never been happier or more free, watching her.
The faster they go, the happier she is. She is fearless and over the last two weeks....
Prepare yourselves, people....
She has been going out on trail rides....
WITHOUT ME!
They have been taking her out into the trails and I have been staying behind, letting her be...
A BIG GIRL, A FREE GIRL, A REGULAR GIRL, A HAPPY GIRL....
She has also been participating in transfers on horseback. Meaning, she has been doing things like lifting her legs and turning, on command, to transfer to going backwards. It is the first time she has ever participated in any transfers....
EVER!

This GIRL.....


is....AMAZING!

I totally get this feeling you have when watching Faith ride. Spiritual, magical, pure joy...but even these words don't do my proud mommy heart justice. Yay for a happy, strong, free, big girl Faith on a HORSE!!!
