This is an update on son SuperPizzaBoy’s therapeutic riding program<\/a>, “Bit by Bit<\/a>” at Roger’s State University here in Oklahoma. He is still participating and doing very well and loves it even though he and his Mom have to drive 25 miles to the program after school on Monday evenings.<\/p>\n

Recently they have switched him over to a mule named Jed. Jed is over 20 years old but still looks great. (To my unknowledgable eye at least.) Jed seems like a very calm and collected mule. SPB’s instructor says he is doing better than ever. We are big fans of Bit by Bit.<\/p>\n

Bit by Bit has very few paid staff. The outrider’s ensuring the safety of the rider and the people taking care of the horses and the stable are all volunteers. We appreciate them very much.<\/p>\n

We the clients of Bit by Bit are big fans. They do a lot with not very much.<\/p>\n

Son is gaining more and more confidence with every session. He is going to participate in a Pinto Show and an Appaloosa show at the Tulsa Fairgrounds later this year.<\/p>\n

There is no way that he could do this without Bit by Bit.<\/p>\n

SPB has a form of Autism<\/a> called Asperger’s Syndrome<\/a>. Hippotherapy helps with his body awareness in several different ways. <\/p>\n

I’m sure that there are similar programs near where you live.<\/p>\n

Give them a little love if you are so moved and able.<\/p>\n
