No Legs? No Problem!




At Quintra Therapeutic Riding stables, horseback riding is not so much a sport as it is a means to an end. The owner/instructor, Barb (shown here) has an amazing way of saddling up just about anyone. Once landed on the horse, a therapy session involving stretching and flexing your upper body might be the order of the day, or if your legs are still or won't move, the warmth of the horse's body as he's walking will soothe you. This special saddle is crafted just for this purpose. No reins required! Sometimes the horse is a vehicle, sometimes the horse is the equipment. Good lady, good riding, good idea!
