Therapeutic Horseback Riding






Well in adoption news our I-800 is approved and we've been told our NVC letter will be emailed to us to save us a few weeks of snail mail traveling so we're very thankful for that! Every step is one closer to Halle! In other news, we've begun horseback riding therapy for Min Hao (who had of course never seen a horse before) and for Marissa (for her eyes) and of course riding horses and being around them is her idea of a perfect day! At first Min Hao was deathly afraid to even look at a horse but he eventually got used to them and was able to sit on one. I was a side walker so I got to make sure he didn't fall off. On day 2 of lessons he didn't cry at all and even a few smiles were seen. We're making progress! Marissa has progressed in her lessons to learning the jump position (she's not jumping yet, just learning the position and holding it) so she's loving it. DJ didn't want to ride, he enjoyed the leadership of being the lead walker and was so great at his job! He looked like a mini rancher! Well it was a long but great day. Made me wish we had a ranch...
