We'll have to wait until she gets back to her pl

Wow, hearing her story makes it even more
inspirational! When I first saw this video, it moved
me to tears. Which is why I got so upset by some of
the negative comments.

Nancy,
I would encourage you to look at the NARHA (North American Riding for the
Handicapped) website www.narha.org .
There is also a Yahoo group called Theraputic Riding.

The only Dorrance book I have is True Unity by Tom Dorrance. I'd love to
