With the help of his outpatient therapy providers, we have had the good fortune to be able to enroll Otis in weekly hippotherapy (equine therapy, or therapeutic riding program) for the summer. The place we take Otis is about a hour's drive from where we live, so there have been weeks when, by the time he and Daddy arrive, Otis has been too tired to get up on the horse. I think we're 2 for 4 at this point--two pretty good sessions where he was able to get up on the horse and engage, and two others where either sleep or a big seizure (from being sleepy from the car ride) have kept him from being able to participate.
Here is a super short video Daddy took of his most recent session. We are so proud of our big strong boy, and so grateful that he has been given this opportunity!
