Riding the Horsey.

First off, I must apologize to the grown ups in these pictures. Honestly, I did NOT intend to take a bunch of butt shots!! I promise!!!



The star of the day....here is Bella! She's Sonshine's Walk On! therapy horse.

First come the introductions:
Sonshine to the all volunteer crew

(Mom found her ZOOM!)


Introducing Sonshine to Bella
first the sniff....



then the pat....


and up we go!

You can see that there's always one person leading the horse and a "sidewalker" on each side making sure the rider stays in place. Mrs Tara is in the middle of the arena giving instructions.

He did a bit of yelling for help....
and a couple of times demanded for someone to "Get me off of here!"


But that was soon replaced with chatter...


He told Mr Eddie all about our 2 cats Mr Boots and Speedy-girl



And he was fascinated by the piles of poop in the arena...



Stopping for a quick drink...



After his ride Mrs Tara said he could help her clean a little bit.....


since he was so fascinated with the horse poop.



This was his FAVORITE part!!

After his ride he went indoors and played in the sand and listened to special TLP music.

This was my companion for the ride....Silver Bullet, aka the goat who thinks he's a dog. He spent nearly the whole riding time leaning against my legs.

Some things in life really are priceless!
