Horse Therapy

Maya really likes horses and had the opportunity to ride one not too long ago at Amy's sister's house - Maycie rides one. Horse riding is oh so beneficial for children like Maya. When the horse walks, it simulates motions in the rider's hips (and other stuff) as if the rider was walking, too. Provides great range of motion in those areas of her body that we cannot stretch regularly everyday. So for her birthday, her Nani and Papa said they would help us put Maya in a hippotherapy class. It only took me about 5 months to get the evalulation, but we finally got in. She was only supposed to get evaluated and not get on the horse, but not a surprise that all the ladies fell in love with Maya and let her get on the horse for a quick ride. Maya was so excited! We couldn't get into the summer session, so we will wait until the fall for her lessons to start. I am hoping we can get her in about two sessions per year.
