SOAR with Horses

11/06/2026

It wasn't dinner in a movie but pizza and a rodeo! Our friends arrived to watch Friday's slack performance of the Battle by the Bay High School Rodeo. We even had three members of the Maryland team stop by to say hello!

A little late with this post but each of our friends did a great job horsing around. Some of us really learned to use our muscles and core to sit properly and communicate to the horse. Others needed the wonderful coherent heart beat we enjoy from contact with horses. It never ceases to amaze me how it helps with sensory regulation!

Sonya accomplished a lot this morning!!! So proud of her. We worked with holding the reins which is something she hadn't done in several weeks. Next we used written words which she had to touch to get the response. Sonya was 100 percent on task utilizing "stop" and "to GO" the entire duration of her ride😊😊. We ended with her looking at pictures of different brushes to get the brushes and properly use them.

This young lady never ceases to amaze ... after receiving instruction from me (and doing a fantastic job) she indicated that she wanted to instruct me with some horse therapy. She started by using hand over my hand to "groom" the horse. Next she had me hold the lead rope and walk and halt the horse with her next to me. AND Sonya said "to go" five times to instruct me to make the horse walk! You never know when or how a breakthrough comes---just so grateful that it happens ♥️♥️♥️

Kiger did a nice job stepping out of his comfort zone working with two different horses! Great job on this chilly fall morning.
