Hippotherapy!

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.
