Luke had his first experience with horseback riding today. They aren’t a certified hippotherapy location, but he can do therapeutic riding. He cried the first couple times we put him up on the horse, but once he started walking, he loved it! They walked him around for about 30 minutes. We are hoping to go back again next weekend.
How awesome! I have a friend who’s wanted me to bring Camden by to ride her horse. I’m waiting until we have some warmer temperatures to take him, though. I’ve also read about the benefits of hippotherapy, and I’m all for alternatives like that – anything theraputic that’s makes it fun for them! I hope that you see some positive outcomes from it
I used to volunteer at our local stable where they had therapy sessions for children. Such a natural (and fun) method of exercises those muscles.
