I introduced the perfect horse and owner to each other & yeah, needed lot of Kleenex. A match made in horsey heaven that literally lasted to his last breath, the owner laid beside him until he was gone. Bringing them together remains one of the best things I've ever done.
There is in Australia an organisation called Riding For The Disabled, which does what the name says. There is something extraordinary about the connection a young person, who themselves may feel vulnerable, finds when a connection is made to a big, kind, gentle but powerful animal. https://www.rda.org.au/
My sister with special needs life changed because of a horse program. Went on to be a special Olympics western rider. Very proud of her big beautiful ribbons. ❤️
