Yes Patty, the swimming with the horse was a hoot. Loved every minute. There is a causeway near by, where horses are allowed. I had forgotten how strong your legs have to be, and the fact of water resistance...I slid right of the back side, came up laughing and sputtering! Got right back on. I have had two spinal fusions, and am fused C3-7. I had no additional pain from the experience, and will go again soon. If there is a pond in your area, maybe you could try it soon too. Lots of older people went, as well as disabled kids. I hope you can get back in the saddle again. I am 6o yrs. old and can't wait for another adventure!!! ginnie
