Is a magical haven
that all disabled people
can go to
and for a few precious
hours we feel
as if we are
able to conquer
the world

we are taught
to balance on
our horses and
to stretch out
our arms as
if they are flying

we learn how
to tell our horses
to weave through
colored cones

there are lessons
on how to stand
up in stirrups
in preparation
for the two-point
fun games
are played too
and while this is
all going on everyone
is learning about
the spirit of sharing

but maybe the most important
of all are the bright smiles
and laughter as
each leaves and
we dream about
the next time we
can return
