From Sallie:
Three years post accident. I continue to ride this horse, because I have always known, when I could finally ride him "Good", that I would be recovered. Recovery has been very long. 2 steps forward and 1 step back. It has been up down and all around. extremely frustrating for me. Riding used to be so easy for me, much like breathing. After a TBI, what was once so easy, becomes very hard. Particularly in the 2nd year of recovery. Things got extremely hard, felt like much of the ground we had gained, I had lost. Fatigue is intense, focus and concentration is very difficult. But riding with instruction helps me quite a bit. I am grateful to my husband, and trainer, who continue to help me, and have not given up on me, through the past few years. This is what I have learned, a TBI, it is for life!
