Members THein Posted March 18, 2016 Members Report Posted March 18, 2016 Awhile back, a lady that gives riding lessons asked me to make something to help a child with a spine disorder to enable her to ride a horse while two people walked alongside to assist her in staying on. This is what I came up with, skirting leather, latigo straps and roller buckles. Made the straps a little long so it'll fit somebody a bit bigger if needed. Handles from the hardware store for the helpers to hang on. I guess she's having a real good time. Quote
ChriJ Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Very nice. I'm sure she's excited and you've given her the opportunity to do something that will bring her great pleasure. Chris Quote
Members Grey Drakkon Posted March 18, 2016 Members Report Posted March 18, 2016 Great job, and you've helped out a lot of people by making that. My niece as SMA and does riding therapy, it helps her and other people on so many levels. Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted March 18, 2016 Members Report Posted March 18, 2016 That is very cool mate! Quote
Members veedub3 Posted March 18, 2016 Members Report Posted March 18, 2016 How awesome is that! Makes my heart smile! Karina Quote
Members bob21804 Posted March 18, 2016 Members Report Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks for sharing that... just goes to show, life and being rewarded is about more than making money. Thumbs up. Quote
Boriqua Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Wish I had something like that when I still had my various motorcycles. My wife is probably the only person in the world that can fall asleep on the back of a moving motorcycle. At least she would have had something to hold on to! Quote

My niece as SMA and does riding therapy, it helps her and other people on so many levels. Another nice thing about the situation is, the lady giving the ridings lessons (there are also some others), are organized as "non profit". They're doing it for $0.00. Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted March 22, 2016 Members Report Posted March 22, 2016 Good thought went into your making of this belt ! But further, those less fortunate can now be part of an otherwise closed society- (at least to them) Great deed, and great work ! --- Wild Bill46 Quote
