Cowboy Keith!

We have some exciting news!! Keith is going to be starting theraputic horseback riding at Bit By Bit in September. It has been a long time coming as Keith has been on their waiting list for quite some time. I got the phone call to offer placement for Keith, and couldn't have been more excited! We went Wednesday for his evaluation and met the wonderful ladies who run the equine therapy program, and of course they fell in love with Keith immediately. They fitted his lidlocker (helmet) and he got to ride their wooden horse Peggy to see how much he would tolerate. Honestly he was more excited about the doll house sized barn with horse trailer and truck and horses. That was until of course he got to see the horse that he will be riding, his name is Jack. He is a small dark brown horse, just perfect for Keith. He is very excited about riding the horses, and I am excited about the great therpay that he won't even know that he is getting! Riding will help stimulate his core muscles to sit up, as well help gain balance all while getting a great inner leg stretch. They said it will be amazing how many times they will have to lengthen the stirrups as his leg muscles release tension. I tried to take a picture of Keith's horse but it was VERY fuzzy, but there will be many more opportunities for pictures and video. I will definitley keep you updated!!
