Hippotherapy!!

This morning we headed out to Therapeutic Horsemanship in Wentzville for the boys' first hippotherapy session.  Andrew and Nathan are enrolled in the summer session which lasts from now until August.  We are so excited to be doing this new type of therapy and the boys just love the horses!!

It's amazing to watch these sessions.  The boys are working on core strength the entire time without even knowing it as well as everything else the therapists are coordinating into the session.  These horses are the most tame animals and just do what they are told.  What an amazing way to do therapy!!
