Each day is different for me and each day is a challenge, everyone around me is an extension we are a team and we work together for the same goals.

We all have the same goal. To get my horse and me together and doing the things we love, reaching goals having fun doing it.
Must be physically and mentally fit as needed to assist physically with my horse and of course tetraplegic as well as some yard/stable duties that involve lifting, walking distances, be able to react instantaneously as well as mentally fit as you will be assisting a brain injured disabled person, who at times will get confused, forgetful, distressed. Being able to think and act quickly be adaptable as although there is a routine sometimes stuff happens.
