My little Cowboy

Ben started going to horse riding therapy a couple of weeks ago. It is a bit of a drive and I was able to drive him all by myself yesterday. It felt so good. He is really loving riding the horses. The program is specific for special needs children. It helps the kids with balance and strengthening their core muscles. Along with that they get all the sights, sounds, and touch that goes long with spending time with the horse. When the lesson is finished the instructors help him get some carrots and feed his horse. This week he even was brave enough to pet the horse. He kept pointing all over the place where he wanted the horse to go. It was very cute.
