I never imagined,
in my entire life ,that I Georgia
would ever be able to ride a horse.
I was born with Cerebral Palsy and
am rather limited as to my mobility.
My Physical therapist recommended
that Horseback riding would be an
excellent way to help me stretch my
legs. It would also improve my
balance, strengthen my core muscles
and do a whole lot more that I
really don’t understand but am
living proof that it does!
Riding not only
helps me physically but also
mentally. It gives me such a great
feeling of accomplishment. It helps
me unwind and relieves stress. It
gives me a “ can do” attitude!
Riding has given me such a freedom
and a feeling of pure happiness that
definitely puts a smile on my face.
Trust me, Victory
Reins is awesome! They encourage me
to be as independent as possible and
are always coming up with new
exercises that I do on horseback to
work to strengthen my muscles.
It is such a
pleasure to work with the
volunteers, Deb, Geri, and Sandy at
Victory Reins! I look forward to our
session every week!
