I've dreamed of hippotherapy for Sophie and Maddie for a while. In December when on Sophie's Wish Trip, they got to ride horses it was everything I dreamed it would be. One day that dream will come true. Until then though... we have Lucy.
I was so thrilled to find Lucy at a 2nd hand shop today. I was actually dropping Matthew off for his algebra class which is right next door to this shop. Lucy was sitting out on the sidewalk and she nickered when I drove by. How could I resist? I had the car and not the horse trailer so I ran in, paid for her and called James to let him know to stop by with the trailer.
He brought her home around 5:30pm and the kids have been riding her ever since. After getting to know her a little bit they picked out her name. Sophie even tried some trick riding. I must admit I even sat on Lucy's back for a second or two, reminiscing about the time I had my very own horse.

Ahhh---I miss my sweet Sophie!! There is a place in Macon that does Hippotherapy!!!!!!!!!! I used to volunteer out there, and a few of Sophie's old classmates have gone there. Check out Heartbeats & Hoofbeats ( http://www.heartbeatsandhoofbeats.com/new/index.html )
Hey Brit. I just looked over H&H's website. good gracious! They require nearly as much paperwork as an adoption dossier just to get started. o_O
