I realized I’ve never posted pictures of Jonalyn at hippotherapy, so here are some taken this summer. Daddy got to be a sidewalker. Notice the huge smiles on both of their faces.
Mounting up. Yes, these pictures are from a long time ago. She has her casts on in them!
And away we go! She is using her hands to direct the horse.
Doing our exercises. I realize they are all looking away. I’m not a very good photographer.
Then they do fun things like play with noodles and rings.
And the horse gets a treat afterwards.
We’re taking a break during the holiday season and are sad to not be going for a while, but after the first of the year, we’ll be back. We’re convinced it’s doing great things for Jonalyn both physically and cognitively. You should hear her speech!

My husband was involved with horseriding-therapy and children. He’s very enthusiastic about the effects. I rode horses until I was about 16 and would have loved doing things like this!
