T is for TRAV Show -
that's the Therapeutic Riding Association of Virginia's annual show and competitions for differently abled children and adults.
Suzanne is going to be competing in the dressage portion and participating in other events and activities to show skills of rider and horse.
Barbara Ford, of Untamed Spirit Therapeutic and Educational Program, and Forward Motion Farm, Virginia Beach VA has been working with Suzanne for the past year.
Here is a pic of Barbara signing to Suzanne during a lesson. That beautiful horse is Piper, a horse with incredible patience and a sense of humor. Piper will be Suzanne's partner in the competition.
T is also for THANKFUL - which is how we feel about the committment Barbara has given to help Suzanne acheived her goals.
Wish them luck! They worked hard and deserve it!

ReplyDeleteDressage is a very demanding discipline! How wonderful? There is a therapy riding center near my home and when I retire, I am planning on volunteering there. I think it would be wonderful fun to work with the children and horses...
