Trav's Horse Show

 Travis participated in another horse show

for REACH Therapeutic Riding Center!

 

Sometimes Trav catches us off guard...

like this day when we walked up and

there he sat ~ just as normal as anything.

He is such a miracle.  

I love this picture because we

were celebrating him AND my dad

that weekend!  :)

Superman Fan Club!

As Travis came riding in the announcer said,

"And here comes Superman riding in to save the day!"

It.was.Awesome!!!!!

Horseback riding is a wonderful therapy

for learning to walk again.  Something about

the way your body moves while riding a horse

mimics the way we walk?!?

Whatever it is...we are thankful.

Travis has come SO FAR in his horseback riding.

The people at REACH are mostly all volunteers.

How absolutely AMAZING is that?!!

There is SO much good in this world.  

I don't know much about horseback riding

(other than the summer Kelli and I taught

horseback riding at a summer camp!  ha),

but the instructors couldn't stop talking

about the progress Travis has made.  

Trav's horse is Simon.  Travis has always been

an animal lover ~ and he certainly loves Simon.

The owner of Simon has recently contacted us

and we are so grateful to him for sharing

his beautiful horse with Travis.

Superman's Little Fan:)

This picture is AMAZING. 

Look at our Superman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He certainly saves my day!!!

Proud.  Very Proud. Sisters. 

We love our Superman. 

Million Dollar Smile

This is the first season that Travis

has been able to ride unassisted. 

Travis is such a stud!!!

FiRST PLaCE RiBBoN!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoying the show and the beautiful place...

We were all so happy and proud that day!!!!!!!!

Troy and Walker were at a party and had to miss:(

Sweet Trav gave his ribbons to Hudson!!!

I talk so often about what this entire

ordeal is like for Travis...but oh my Goodness,

I could write for days about what it's like

for Lynna.  There is nothing worse in the

whole wide world EVER than seeing your

child hurt, struggle and/or suffer.

Lynna experiences this every single day.

Her life will never be the same.  

There is NOTHING like a mama's love...

especially this one's.  

Riding Simon on Saturdays has given

Travis something to look forward to

and something to enjoy plus

there are amazing therapeutic benefits to it.
