Ivy is a joyful 3-year-old girl who has been riding with Manes for Movement for the last year and a half. Riding Patches is something she looks forward to every week!
Ivy was born with cerebral palsy, which affects the way her brain communicates with her muscles and makes movement and everyday physical activities more challenging. Through physical therapy incorporating hippotherapy, Ivy is able to use the movement of the horse to build the strength, balance, postural control, and confidence she needs for activities both on and off the horse.
Dr. Erin, Ivy’s physical therapist, shares that Ivy has made tremendous leaps in both her strength and confidence with mobility. When Ivy first began riding, she was not yet strong enough to hold herself upright while Patches was walking without support from both her therapist and a volunteer. Today, Ivy can sit tall and maintain her balance during the horse’s movement without physical assistance, which is a remarkable reflection of how much stronger she has become.
And that growing strength is showing up in unexpected ways, too! As Ivy’s core and postural strength have improved, her therapy team has even noticed an increase in the strength of her voice and improved breath control. Most importantly, Ivy has blossomed in her confidence. With each new skill she masters, she is discovering just how much she is capable of.
For Ivy, riding provides so much more than physical therapy. It gives her a sense of community, independence, and accomplishment. She loves feeding Patches, sharing her horse knowledge with her brother Henry, and being part of life at the barn. Every week, Patches helps Ivy grow a little stronger, sit a little taller, and believe a little more in herself.
By supporting Team Ivy during Manes for Movement’s Month of Giving, you are helping make moments of growth like these possible for Ivy and so many other children who find strength, confidence, and joy through their partnership with our incredible therapy horses.
