Chance is one of my equine co-therapists. He is an 18-year old paint gelding who has done a little bit of everything in the past (such as jumping, polo-cross, and riding lessons), and now he cannot be ridden anymore because of arthritis in one of his front legs. I started getting to know him last August when his owner introduced me to him. The more time that I spend with Chance, the more I love him. He is one of the sweetest horses that I have ever met. He is also calm and happy to be with people and go along with anything that is asked of him. He is funny—after he eats his “snack”, he will enthusiastically lick the nearest person to show his gratitude. Chance may not be able to continue as a riding horse, but he has so much more to offer. When I see how my clients feel accepted, safe, and cared for by Chance, I feel so grateful for the opportunity to know him and to work with him.
