Our little girl is getting so big! Yesterday, she started physical therapy on a horse. I call it horse therapy, but the correct term is hippotherapy. That just sounds like she's riding a hippopotomous, so we'll stick with horse therapy. Her physical therapist, Nancy, rides with her. The idea is that the motion of the horse helps relax Natalie and makes it a whole lot easier to do the stretching and poses that Nancy does on a weekly basis at her office. Natalie LOVED it! The only thing she didn't like was the little helmet they made her wear. Before riding...she did a little stretching in the barn.
Then, it was time to mount the horse named Lucy...
It was a windy day, but Natalie didn't care!
Lucy is a very pretty horse...
Natalie kept trying to get that annoying helmet off her head!
