Stringing while standing on top of horse

Two kids did fantastic today standing on top of the horse while stinging donut shapes (flat plastic pieces with holes in the center) on a cord attached to the tack handle. A 2 year old who has downs syndrome actually did a better job sequencing the steps to insert the cord through the donut shape and grasp the cord tip so that the shape falls down- than she has done while sitting on the horse. I think that she realized that I was too busy keeping my hands on her ankle and gait belt to help her use her hands, so she did it all herself. I was very impressed.
