Warning: Q Brag
And kind of a weird one, may be too much information
Q has been going to therapy riding at a little ranch for a couple of years now. He has been preferring to help out instead of riding horses for quite a while lately.
The owner said he was doing so well with some things that she would pay him to do some chores.
yesterday we went to help her muck stalls. He has done this with a few other kids a couple of times, but this time there were no other kids. He jumped right into the chore and worked for most of three hours.
The lower pasture where they take the manure to the pile is flooded. My sensory disordered kid slogged through the deep water with wheelbarrows full of horse yuck and dumped load after load. His boots were full of water.
The only break he took was to go help with a lesson. A little girl with Autism came for her lesson and Q likes to be one of the helpers now, instead of a rider.
He went back to work after though.
When he came home he didn't drag his yucky boots through the house, he put them downstairs where they could dry off and changed his clothes down there too!
Little things like that are huge here.
yipee for horse poopoo. Somebody has to do it!
________________________
you guys know, it is scary to think he maybe couldn't have any jobs in the future. But this kind of thing allows him to have little issues but no one cares.
And he really did a good job, not just a good job for a disabled kiddo.
He asked me when we got home if I was surprised that he held it together when his feet were so wet. That would bug ME so I can only imagine what it felt like to him
