Horseback Riding

Ethan got to start the summer session of Therapeutic Horseback Riding today. He made such a vast improvement last session we're hoping to see great things again this time. He was a little on edge starting up again. He's riding Warrior, the brother of Allie that he rode last time. He also has two new sidewalkers, one of which was way to talkative to him and kept touching his back on his scar which he didn't like. When he is upset or emotional about anything, he complains more about his scar. He started to get back into the swing of things by the end of the session. When I asked him later in the van about it, he said he liked it, but he didn't like the girl with the purple shirt touching his scar. I think if we can get her to stop placing her hand on that part of his back, and he gets back into the routine of it, he'll do great and have a ball again.
