Now that's something else! Imagine being pulled in your wheelchair by a pony.
I took a ten year break from having horses. The last of the older ones had died at age 33 and I was working and then we started adopting and I was really busy. But I so missed owning and handling horses that I couldn't even watch movies with horses. I was doing some serious grieving. I read an article in Country Living magazine about an organization called Driving for the Disabled and contacted the founder. It was so taken with the idea that I bought a 14.1 h grade pony, broke to drive with harness and cart. Then I bought a nicer cart. Then I bought two Welsh ponies. Then I moved one pony to Creekside because I was running out of stalls at home. Then I saw them all out riding so I started riding my driving pony. Then I bought an enduranc horse, etc etc etc. I never did put the kids in the cart. The more I read, the more I decided it wasn't a safe activity. They have ridden, however, and we have just built a wheelchair ramp for mounting. If it ever dries out enough here, we'll try it out. Nancy
