My Nonprofit Reviews

I was ready.
My second or third week of volunteering as a sidewalker at Horseability.
I was standing aside the horse as staff members and aides to a 13 year old autistic boy,tried to convince
him to mount the horse.
He was very resistant but with the professional coaxing from both teams,he finally agreed.
After about 5 minutes on the horse,I notice that Matthew's composure has changed. He's totally relaxed,smiling,etc.
"Wow" I said to myself....very impressive.....he didn't want to try,but he did and now he's happy!
However, my biggest surprise was yet to come.
Matthew's ride is complete but he doesn't want to get off.
He gets off. I'm holding his hand as we are about to exit the corral and then he starts pulling me back towards the horse.....he wants to get back on!
You had to be there!
Great day!
