Today we got to go to Healing Hope Farm, where Malia's teacher, Ms. DeLew, set up a chance for us to ride the horses there. Laura, who owns the stables, specializes is therapeutic horseback riding lessons. She is a friend of Ms. DeLew and graciously let us come ride one of her horses. Not only that but we also got to groom him and feed him and all the other horses snacks at the end of the day. Everyone got to ride, even Jessi, though she only was on Bailey, our horse for the day, for a couple of steps before declaring that she was "all gone" (all done). I even got to ride around and guarantee myself sore muscles for at least three days! Ms. DeLew and another one of Malia's teachers, Ms. Sorkin, wanted to do something extra special for Malia before we moved and I have to say, they hit a homerun here. We are sure going to miss them and are so grateful for all they've done for Malia.
Jessi's five second ride!

Therapeutic horsemanship is an activity we have come to believe in! It is still close to Becca's heart It sounds like Malia and all of the Little Women got a premium session. Mahalo to all who made it happen.
Meg, your photography and writing skills continue to be evident. Excellent blog!
What a fun activity. I'm glad everyone seemed to have a good time. We're just trying to get Rebecca to realize that horses are not cows and they do not say moo. Oh well.
I remember what a 'big shot' I thought I was when we got to ride in camp. Those horses were big too. I really just hung on tight and hoped for the best. Good job girls!!
Love, Auntie Pat
