My son is scared of all animals so this doesn’t work for us.

Rupert’s a good friend of mine. I taught Rowan to ride his bike. Good people. Great story.

I am on the autism spectrum and I use to be sacred of animals especially when younger, but once introduced I just seem to connect, but it does take me a little longer to get use to different things, and when younger like to do in my own way and time, so Stormie Hill if your son is sacred do not give up on the idea, as I now love animals at times more than people!

When Rupert introduced my son Lance to his horse Hope, Lance was very anxious and excitable. He had already met other horses, so he wasn’t scared, but it took us a while to get him up on the horse with his twin sister. There’s a video in my profile. Now Lance RACES to get on the horses.

My son loves horseback riding. But his therapy office only does it in the fall. That is the only draw back.

This book is a great read, I highly enjoyed this story of what these parents did for their son and the risk and faith they had to see it through.

My son loved the big white, gentle horse he rode. And I let him ride until his teacher seemed to be getting a little impatient and mean. And didn’t include him with a group of children who were going to feed the horses. It probably hurt my feelings more than his. They may have paid for extra time or something. But, how would a child know that?

This is why we have a small farm here! The kids are fantastic with all the animals!
