STARR riders

This is the third year Alex has participated in the STARR program. It's a physical therapy where kids do tasks while on the back of a horse. It helps to develop their sense of balance, as well as helping them to become more comfortable with situations they're not used to - such as being 5 feet in the air on the back of a very large animal. Alex is the 'old man' of his group - so this is old hat for him. It makes me feel better because I see how well he functions compared with some of the other kids. I can even foresee a day when he might be a normal kid...
