To Lynn and all my TM friends,
I mentioned about a month ago that I was going to start
therapeutic riding after reading a true story (in Chicken Soup for the Pet
Lovers Soul) of a woman with MS gaining back her mobility after 3 months (3
times a week) riding slowly and therapeutically. The gait of the horse is
suppose to be great for the spine. Prior to THR she was walking very
belabored using two canes and 11/2 years later (today) she is walking with no
canes and is continuing riding. I have just found out about a national
organization called the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association
(NARHA). Their website is www.narha.org and you can find a place near you to
check this out. They help people with many disabilities both mentally and
physically to strengthen their legs. It can't hurt! Look at what happened
to that lady with MS. I have taken 2 lessons and plan to continue for several
months. Take care of yourselves!
"HOPALONG JOY"
