Every day we test my theory that therapeutic horse riding is the best way improve Kelly's quality of life and overcome the limitations of medical treatments. Follow along as I chronicle our family's adventure in helping Kelly Recover With Ruby. I reveal the good, the bad, and the boring as I do my best to train Ruby and help Kelly overcome her medical, mental, and physical issues.
In order to be successful, I will need to train Ruby to the highest levels of classical horsemanship in pursuit of the noblest equestrian activity - equine assisted neuro-rehab (a.k.a. riding therapy). This monumental effort will require a lot of time, energy, and dedication. I will be combining several areas of expertise including:
classical horse training
modern neuroscience
recent advances in neuro-plasticity
modern physical therapy and neuro-athletics
human and equine physiology
I will also need God's grace and guidance, the support of my family, community support, lots of prayer, and all the good luck I can find.
I welcome you to join us in our journey.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the trainer refine the horse by daily gymnastic work in the arena.
The time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School improves the horse by imparting mobility to joints, strength to muscles, and refinement to the intellect.
