[Sportsandrec] Good Instructors and Coaches

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Nella and everyone,

	Once you do find instructors and coaches with positive attitudes
towards persons with disabilities if they're willing to have their contact
information included in a resource center like the one I suggested this
division create the search for such persons will be easier for other blind
and disabled athletes wishing to pursue various sporting and recreational
activities knowing that these folks have good attitudes towards their
disabled students/players. 

	This is not the first time I've heard of thereputic riding centers
having a less than positive attitude towards disabled riders. All the best.

Peter Donahue

Why not just find a local riding instructor?

When I first started riding I took some lessons at a therapeutic riding
stable, but did not like the attitude about disabilities there.  So then I
just found a local riding instructor.  Over the years I've found several
instructors and clinicians who had no reservations about instructing a blind
person.

If you already have riding experience, you should have no trouble finding an
instructor who has an appropriate mount.

Good luck.

Nella

Subject: [Sportsandrec] horse back riding

Good evening, I am looking to find a horse back riding type camp for this
summer that does not have the religious aspect. Also, that will allow me to
ride independently meaning not be lead by someone as I am an experienced
rider and just need verbal cues for safety as I do have some vision. Please
let me know if anyone has any ideas. I am in Florida. Thanks.
