[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 537057, member: 11847"] V had his first lesson today! It was just a trial and see how he would react. My little guy did awsome :) He was so happy to see the horse, he gave it big hugs and he did not freak out when I lifted him on the horse's back. He had been on a horse once and completely freaked out, same with merry-go-arounds. So that is a huge achievement and a great reward from all the work he does with his Occupational Therapist (OT). I am so proud of him. The lady is very nice and took it real easy. She is not specialized in special needs but did all the right things. She explained to V that the horse was voice trained. So V has to remember to talk and use the right words for the horse to respond. I am seriously thinking of regular lessons for V. We'd have to wait until July though, as she will be busy with summer camps for the rest of June. Of course V now wants a horse. I told him no, and he goes "why not?". I replied "No, V we are not..." and husband then blurts out a "why not?" as well! :sochildish: Sure husband grew up around horses, but I did not. And guess who would take care of the horse when husband is gone all week? I'm sure V will keep on asking, but that's fine. I'll just try not to get annoyed with him asking the same question over and over. Really a ray of sunshine, specially with thse last 2 weeks being so tough with him. Gave us all a nice break.
