Everyone has the...Hi Barbara, I know what you mean. Everyone has their own thoughts on how hippotherapy should be done.<br />I am very lucky (in some ways), that I have my own farm. So I am my own boss. But it also means that I am committed to my farm and animals 24/7. No holidays for me.....in fact the last 'break' I had was when I had a delivery by C Section 18 months ago!!!!<br />Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. It is my chioce to have this sort of life.<br />I am just informing you as a friend (which I hope we are) that having your own horse(s), is a lot of hard work. But very rewording.<br />jAJane--annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158538162965697748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8847555252882706450.post-16099015690539591562010-03-21T16:54:02.632-07:002010-03-21T16:54:02.632-07:00Thank-you Jane-Anne.

I love it, although it is hard work, just to see the children improving makes it all worth the effort.<br />JAJane--annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158538162965697748noreply@blogger.com
