My pleasure
I became ill 5 years ago and have had heart surgery and a pacemaker implant 2 years ago, I'm in a wheelchair and I'm just not well. I am ringing around the Riding for the Disabled groups to get back into it slowly and carefully but I've just taken my first steps just this last week, so things are finally looking promising for my health, therefore riding!

That's wonderful! I used to volunteer with a therapeutic riding center for about 5 years until they lost their lease and had to close their facility down. So I know how awesome it is to ride a horse regardless of whatever physical and mental disabilities a person has, and how much riding a horse can help a person. You'll get the hang of it. It just takes a matter of trust between horse and rider and sidewalkers (if you'll use them). Pretty much most of the photos I have on my account of horses are of the therapy horses there. I swear, therapy horses are the smartest i've ever seen.

I agree! It is quite funny, once I first got ill, I gave up pony club and lessons, but I didn't want to give them up altogether, so I actually volunteered there myself, but after one week, was too ill myself to even do that haha! Now it's quite ironic, I'm going back as a rider haha. I just got the call I have a place, so I begin (for the first time in three years) Tuesday after the next
Horses are gorgeous creatures, so forgiving I can't wait to meet these new horses, they really do seem to have a much gentler nature, possibly because nobody is yanking on the bit or kicking the crapper out of them
