Friends of ours are pastors at Jacob’s Well Church just outside of Dayton and the church has an equestrian ministry called Hilltop Equestrian:

They offer several different programs free of charge, including equitherapy sessions. Our friends told us about this months ago, not long after we returned from China with Leah, but there is a long waiting list. This spring a spot finally opened up and Leah began sessions a couple of weeks ago.
Every Monday night Leah gets on her horse, Felicity, and works on various skills.
Some of the exercises really help Leah with strengthening her core.
It has been a blessing to see how much joy that Leah is receiving from the time spent by these wonderful volunteers. I think it gives Leah a sense of freedom that she doesn’t usually feel.
God continues to bless our family with opportunities that enrich the experiences of our children. And He continues to bring people into our life that provide love and support for our family.
We will be traveling to China soon to adopt Charlie, Ashley, and Katelyn. We will be posting updates on:

Follow along with us and continue to pray for us as we travel and for those that we will leave at home while we are away.
