It may all depend on your center's rules, but I'd think that in Louisville, KENTUCKY of all places they'd be throwing freaking zygotes on horseback.<br /><br />Amy - They would put Bertrand in all sorts of crazy positions on that horse! And they would change horses depending on what they were working on with him. Different horses have different gaits--which affect how the rider's body moves. I know they were working on his trunk control, balance and sensory integration. I wish I understood more. At the time, he was 16 months old and I was overwhelmed with the prospect of losing him. I didn't think he'd be lucky enough to go back the following year! Now, I can focus and take notes to pass on to you all. :)Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624255220638749596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911918894908593884.post-3952552210201485482010-04-15T09:22:10.555-07:002010-04-15T09:22:10.555-07:00Both Ava and Meggie enjoyed that too!

I have been trying to talk Craig into getting a pony (he is allergic) we have a huge old barn that would be perfect for a couple of pony and Ava and Meg could get some use and therapy. You have to share with me some of the therapy if you get time. The lady down the street has a pony and she said I could come down with Ava whenever I wanted to help her. I wasn't sure if there was a special saddle or not? Uh oh gotta go Ava' eating the computer cord.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231879088310981603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911918894908593884.post-24194839123788952092010-04-15T08:48:01.596-07:002010-04-15T08:48:01.596-07:00That was FANTASTIC.

It made him look like a little prince - like some of those people should have been fanning him with big leaves.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377379882410723771noreply@blogger.com
