I know my subject sounds confusing but this is the situation: I have started riding again after 12 years ( My new MS meds now give me enough energy to do so) however I suffer from spastity (imagine sever charlie horses -in both legs from toe to hip that last for 20-30 min.) Reg. physio is of no help however riding elminates the problem. My neurologist is amazed (I don't need drugs). I go to TEAD (therapeutic riding centre once a week but I need to ride approx 4 times per week to keep the symptoms away and it's an hour away). I am a capable rider who is starting at Training level all over again (I was level 2, 25 years ago). Riding unbalanced horses doesn't work well (I recently sold my Standardbred for this reason). Even if I could manage travelling to TEAD 4 times per week it would cost more than board or drugs. I am going to get another horse but the drug co. or govt. doesn't feel that my board is considered Therapuetic. I need ideas or alternatives to purchasing a horse or ways to to get my board (or part of it)covered ($430 per month and it's 5 mins. from home in Terra Cotta). Someone suggested doing office work or other simple chores to offset the cost of board - which I am more than willing to do but it won't work at my current barn.I've tried many organizations and even an equine lawyer. They all agree and sympathize but don't know what I can do. Any ideas or thopughts would be greatly appreciated. Riding is NOT an option for me it mandatory unless I want to consume many drugs and end up in a wheelchair. Thanks for your consideration. I live in south Caledon ( Terra Cotta/Cheltenham area).
