We love success stories at Heartland Horse Heroes and this is one of many, but a huge milestone for one of our riders!
Ethan is new to our program and comes every week so willing to learn and be involved,but has a fear of animals, especially our large four legged ones. Initially Ethan didn’t want to be near a horse but we partnered him with Wesley, our easy going steady eddy horse. Each week we encouraged just a little bit of interaction from Ethan with Wesley. It started with just walking up the ramp to the mounting block, progressed to holding someone’s hand while touching Wesley, to actually touching the saddle. He also has started leading Wesley in the arena and participating in the lesson. Ethan was introduced to Hero, our “starter horse” in the classroom the first day. He became very comfortable getting on Hero so we knew he was going to get on Wes one day. We also discovered that Ethan LOVES to clean up behind the horses. That then became a reward. Well yesterday Ethan SAT on Wesley!! That’s all I asked of him and he did it!! So very proud of this young man!! And so are his parents!! This message is from Ethan’s mother:
“We love it! You have no idea how much it means to us…he’s always been uncomfortable about feeding horses or any animals at the zoo! We see confidence in him that we haven’t before”. This is why we do what we do! We love all our students and their victories!
Come celebrate with us and volunteer ❤️
