2nd Day of Hippotherapy

April the 25th was Nick's second day of hippotherapy. And was the very first time that Nick rode a big horse on his own -- I mean, with no other riding with him.
After Nick's physiotherapist analyzed Nick's x-ray plates, he said that Nick should ride alone. First, I was a litle bit afraid that he might fall, but after he went up on the horse, and gave me a big smile, my heart settled down. 

Therapeutic Riding: Nick's 3rd Day

Yesterday was Nick's 3rd day of therapeutic riding. He didn't enjoy very much, because he rode another pony (he rode Bob, and Nick usually rides a pony named Bean). 

 Nick riding Bob

Usually Nick does not want to dismount (he rides for about one hour per session). But on this day, he did not want to ride at all. So, he rode for about 30 minutes -- because he started to get upset. And Bob was not so happy either...I Felt that..and of course, I bet Nick did too.

Bob

Bean has worked too hard on the day before, and yesterday was his day off.  But the funny thing is that when Bean saw Nick, he started to follow him...and when Nick saw Bean, he gave him a big smile and said "Hi, horsieee" . This was awsome! 

Bean

I hope Nick and Bean can be toguether next week!
