In a message dated 9/21/2007 8:02:39 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writ Well, my MS is all together different in that I have remitting and remissions with some damage. I used a mounting stand and just got up. If my right leg did not co operate I drug it over. Now this was a quarter horse. I did not ride when I was in a wheel chair. I was too sick and in a ton of pain. When the symptoms left me with numbness that is when I figured out what to do. Since that time I have not had that bad of a spell. 1989 and I worked with a physical therapist to walk without a limp. If I am tired I limp and see double. You would not see any obvious affects with me. Now with the Icelandic I just step up since my left leg is strong and weight training helps me. Vision is going to be my problem in my right eye and vertigo, I fall over every now and then. Its a whole different set of symptoms. Does weight training help her at all? I was on a patterning group when I was young and the neighbor had a baby with CP. Just last year I did weights and swim exercise to build strength. That is the whole key to my disorder keep strong and work through the pain. I am sure she doesn't have any of the same issues except its neurological with both of us. Can she go up a mounting stand at all? If so have her on her tummy hanging onto mane bring her legs around. Let me think more on this and I will let you know. Sylvia
