Riding again has healed parts of me that I didn’t know were still broken. My husband asked what I wanted for my birthday, I wanted to ride a horse but not a trail ride, actually ride. We found Michael at Dragon Rider Equine Therapy and l have had an amazing time. Having experienced riding in the past I knew I was going to have to work on my anxiety to actually do this. After my first lesson I felt like years of anxiety that had built up melted away. Suddenly life didn’t feel as rushed or scary and maybe I could let go a little and things would be ok. I was so excited to ride again, and my confidence was much higher this time. I’m starting to feel like the person I used to be before fear and anxiety choked the fun out of life. Just 2 lessons, that’s all it took to mentally unpack years of issues. I don’t know how it works but I feel like it’s healing part of my soul that really needed a special touch. Joy would be the word I’d use to describe my feelings while I’m riding. It’s hard work and so rewarding and so much fun. Michael is kind and gentle, he’s patient and experienced. We would recommend him to all!
