Kneeling during Walk

A beautfiul day spent in the arena trotting and kneeling and walking up and down hills. My 4 year old client has to work very hard to keep her knees together, tummy in and bottom up while in the kneeling position during a walk and also while stationary as she removed toys attached to a bottle with velcro and inserted them inside. This is a great positon to work on her core strength. She also tolerated prone extension position which she held to the count of ten before dismounting.

  1. I ventured over from my blog after I saw that you became a follower. Our family is a big fan of OT's and have had several great people working with our son and from your various posts it looks like you are also creative and compassionate in your approach to things. Our son is just starting out on Hippotherapy and early indications are that it is going to be a winner.
