[Ag-eq] Equine Therapy

[kea565]

I hope this question doesn't offend you but are you totally blind? And if
so, how do you direct your animals when riding? Do you have some way to use
markers to indicate where you are and where you are going?

And if I may ask, where is the place and what is the name of the therapy
facility you partook?

Here's some things I forgot.

When I first took lessons I didn't have my own animals.  So had to find
instructors with good lesson horses.  I did learn some basics from the
theraputic riding place and a lot about safety.  I do think that this
knowledge
made the other instructors more comfortable.

After purchasing my own animals I had the private instructors come to me for
lessons.  These lessons really helped me become more comfortable and
confident
with my mules.  By the time I started attending group lessons and clinics I
was
able to demonstrate that I was able to control my animals in most
situations.  I
really think this helped the instructors accept me.  They realized that I
wasn't
a safety hazard!
