Yesterday was Fletcher's weekly therapeutic horseback riding lesson. He loves it! Along with PT Fletcher is learning some riding skills, helps to feed horses, and has even mucked a stall. It gives him a great sense of pride. The therapists also stress respect for all people and the animals and teach the children to thank their horse after each ride, which Fletcher always remembers to do with a rub and a pat on the nose. Well yesterday, Mrs. Carolyn said "Give Marley some love," which at our house means kisses, so that's just what Fletcher did...puckered up and kissed Marley right on the mouth!
O' boy! I'm trying to laugh about it but can't help wondering what you can get from kissing a horse?
By the way, if you are looking for a charitable organization to donate to this year, I can not think of a more deserving organization than Shining Hope Farms. They help children with all kinds and levels of disabilities with therapeutic horseback riding. They have many expenses including horse care, farm maintenance, PT's and Speech Pathologists, etc. We feel very fortunate that Fletcher benefits from all they do.
Fletcher is Growing up Fast!
