Full Circle

I cantered in my riding lesson on Wednesday It doesn't sound like much but to me it means I've come back to where I started three years ago. For you to understand I'd better start at the beginning. I started riding at the local therapeutic riding stable eight years ago when I was 11.
When I was 16 I started falling about 6 months later I was in a wheelchair I used the chair for about a year then I started walking all over again with a wheeled walker. Now I'm mostly mobile at home with the cane for short trips out and the walker for long. But I digress. Before my legs went I was starting to master the canter on a beautiful horse named legs she was 16 hands high chestnut in colour with an attitude and a need for speed. When I went back to riding after my 16Th summer I was in the chair and had to use the lift to get on the horse. so instead of group lessons I went into private lessons and I started riding a wonderful Norwegian Fjord gelding named Vern. At first it was just simple stuff but we took the private lessons as an opportunity for me to learn the dressage I'm so interested in and now almost three years later I'm back where I was when my legs went maybe a little ahead in places.
