We post this with heavy hearts. Jun, one of the therapeutic horses, is no longer with us. She experienced ruptured ligaments and tendons around her knees, causing her to not be able to support herself. So it was decided she be euthanized due to quality of life. She had a gentle spirit and will be missed.

An update on one of our participants from his mother's point of view:

Caleb has been participating with the Wagon Wheels HUB therapeutic riding for a year now. He was diagnosed with Spastic Paraplegia11 six years ago. A disease with no cure, that attacks the lower limb muscles. Eventually he will lose his ability to walk. But to fight against the disease, he goes to the farm once a week and rides/bonds with Poppy the horse.

Last May when the season started, it was very difficult for Caleb to ride, some weeks there were not enough volunteers to help mount him for riding. Then on weeks when he was riding, the muscle spasms in the lower limbs gave him some difficulty riding comfortably. The volunteers are always watching to make sure he is comfortable and safe. September 13th he was able to trot for the first time and keep good balance on the horse. He was so excited, he later told me he felt like his muscles opened up. September 27th, Caleb was using his lower muscles to help mount the horse!

Going to the farm keeps Caleb's spirits up, so on the days when the weather didn't cooperate, he would still go to the barn to talk and brush Poppy. Next session, he wants to learn how to saddle Poppy and has asked if he can ride ba****ck some day in the future.
