Oh Paula, that would be awesome and well worth the time for Em. I too did riding in the early "90s" and it helped me with balance, breathing, gaining more confidence to be less afraid of the whole balancing thing. I had to quit after a few months as it was starting to hurt my hips! But heck me being an "old lady" of 45, I couldn't handle it any longer!!! But heck, it would be a "piece of cake" for your little angel girl there! I was wondering, could you tell Em's school or PT therapists about this, maybe they could add it on to her IEP as part of therapy sessions and maybe even pick up the cost of it?? Just brainstorming there to help you and your DH to save a few pennies!!! Good Luck with it I hope she geets to do it!
