Meet the Stars of Dream Riders The Dream Horses Our Experts in Mobility
Freedom I look at you: you look at me There's a magic between us that I can see You nuzzle my hands, my face, my hair Your breath gives warmth to my cold metal chair I look into your big brown eyes And I know that you are where my hope lies They help me up onto your back They give me the reins and I take up the slack We are on our own: it's just me and you But somehow, magically, you know just what to do As you amble off slowly, around the ring The feeling I have makes me want to jump and sing All I could do before was sit in my chair And people would always point and stare But here on your back, I am up so high! I'm sure if I tried, I could touch the sky! I feel like a regular kid when I'm riding you I can do the things regular kids do I can move on my own, I can walk, I can run I laugh right out loud, I am having such fun! It feels so natural, so free and fine; It is almost as if your legs were mine! I am walking! It has happened-my dream has come true A dream that has happened only through you By Sara Have, at age 14 of KIDS 'n BITS, WV
For most of our riders these equine friends are their key to feeling the freedom of movement.
