Jackson is an 11-year-old boy who loves horseback riding every Saturday morning. It's the highlight of his week, week after week, year after year! Jackson began riding at Manes for Movement when he was just 4 years old. He has always been so proud to be able to say that he is able to ride a horse! It's something that gives him a huge sense of accomplishment, which is sometimes rare when your motor skills are so limiting. Jackson has a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes it difficult for his brain to communicate with the rest of his body. It makes a lot of things quite challenging. Jackson regularly attends many therapy sessions each week, but hippotherapy at Manes for Movement isn't like the other therapies. None of us think of it as therapy.
Jackson is visibly animated and excited when he arrives at the barn. No matter what else is going on in his life, his rides are a time for fun! He doesn't notice, but he is also gaining strength, balance and postural improvement from his weekly rides. Jackson also loves to use his time at the barn to socialize! He always asks what the horses, therapists, volunteers, other riders (and their parents!) ate for breakfast that morning. Manes for Movement provides an invaluable service to the special needs community in the South Bay. We feel incredibly lucky to be a part of the Manes for Movement family and would be devastated if for some reason Jackson and others like him could no longer ride. Please support Manes for Movement during this Month of Giving!
