“Riding is number 1, not number 2.”
"Riding has helped strengthen the trunk. She's like a jack-in-the-box, she now has the strength to sit up and stay up under her own power, which she could not do before. She really enjoys riding too."
"Horseback riding so much fun. Good day. I like to trot-trot-trot and go fast."
"I like trotting - bouncy trot and up down trot"
"I like cantering because I'm getting really good at it and stronger. I like circling around corners, it is much fun, and I sometimes like to do it at the trot"
"Riding has opened me up and I'm not as scared. It has helped my balance a lot, and I am more positive about myself."
"I love horseback riding. These big, gentle animals are my friends. They know my scent and they know my voice when I call their names. Riding on Ice, Poco and Tia makes me happy. I like to brush them and give them treats like peppermints. I have been riding since I was 12. I hope I can ride for a long, long time."
"Riding has greatly improved my son's hand-eye coordination and balance. Because of this, he is now able to ride a bike and play video games, things that every little boy his age should be able to do."
"My favorite thing to do is trot, because it's fast!"
"I like to trot-trot because it's bouncy and it makes me happy!"
"I like riding fast!"
