New Therapy

Bella got to try horseback riding today, it's a form of therapy called hippotherapy.  This is Bella getting on her horse, a pony named Simon.

Bella would intermittently hold her head up, but her helmet was a little too big, and kept falling down.  She did a fairly good job of sitting up, supported by the therapist.

Of course she never held her head up when she was near us.

For a little while she laid on her stomach, but that was actually putting her to sleep.

Bella will now be riding Simon every Tuesday at noon.

  2. I think Bella is just trying to figure out what kind of new "chair" she's sitting on! :) Hopefully, things will improve each time she goes horseback riding...and she will come to love it!

  3. Fun! I can picture her telling Ben in her own way that she has a horse and Ben being way jealous.
