I am sure we all have lots of times but this really sticks with me!
Borderland is a multi use park hikers , bikers, dogs - and they have a "Disc Golf" course spread out thru the park. I had never heard of that before you throw frisby's at a "hole" that is a weird pole with chains around it
to catch the frisby.
Coming out after a ride they have a group of severely handicapped young people arrive while we are
letting our horses graze near the bathroom pavilion.
One of the adults asked if the kids could pet the horses. My friends horse was young she went off to the side
away and they gathered around Sonny => I knew Sonny would be fine he had some kids in wheel chairs some not and one with a wheel chair with gigantic big tires- I've never seen that before . One large boy was kind of bopping sonny petting him but Sonny was fine "HE KNEW" There was this one girl in a wheel chair I don't know what her handicap was but her arms were twisted and bent and she said she has never ever petted a horse. It was hard for her to move her arms so- not that sonny would ever move- his feet were planted solid!
'HE KNEW"
I put the lead in her lap and she said 'I'VE NEVER HEALD A HORSE"
Then Sonny put his head in her lap. " I've never been HUGGED by a horse.
"HE KNEW"
I was sooooooooo proud of him she was crying she was soooooooo happy I was crying, the adults were
crying .
It turned out to be a place not far from the park where parents can do day care for their severely handicapped
kids while they work and they were on an "outing" at borderland.
The adults with the kids were so pleased with them being able to pet sonny
"HE KNEW"
We had taken lots of photos so that evening my husband and
Sonny really made that girls day and it put into reality how lucky I am.
