Xander lite up like a Christmas tree when when introduced him to Shorty! He started talking, making eye contact, listening, and acting confident. It was what I like to call an Autistic Miracle!!! He really does bring tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
Because he loves riding so much we are going to enter him into a lead line class at a local show in a couple of weeks. I only worry that the sights and sounds of the horse show will be too much for him once we get there. Too get him ready we have been watching youtube videos. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is something that he gets into!!!

That is wonderful!! There is something about horses..A very long time ago I worked with kids with various disabilities-it was a horse riding program..The kids loved it-the horses were wonderful..Everyone thrived. :)
GB loved hippo-therapy. She is asking to go back.
