I'd love it if you'd add me as a friend and comment on my videos and stuff as I add them.

Hope to talk to you soon :)

At 10:37pm on April 3, 2011, Cathy Ann Savino-Kedzierski said…: Hello Jackie,

First and foremost, thanks for the welcome!

My disability is a result of an incident (not on horseback) that caused a fracture in my left hand. Unfortunately, it was not diagnosed right away and when it was, arthritis had set in and caused more pain than I ever thought possible. In relation to riding and since my left hand is my "mounting hand", it is very difficult to get myself up on the back of my 16.1 hand Thoroughbred. I am blessed with a wonderful, steady horse that patiently waits for me to get on but none-the-less, struggling at the mounting block for 15 - 20 minutes and sometimes even longer is creating tension and frustration. As a result of the same accidental incident, I also had several broken/brusied ribs and manner in which this injury happened has caused permanent pain and the resulting discomfort. That leaves me with great difficulty maintaining a posting trot and my stamina level will probably never be where it was before this happened!

I joined this group to be part of a community of disabled "horse" people and also to possibly get some ideas and feedback from people that have had similar injuries or maybe even people that have the same resulting riding issues that I now have, no matter what their disability may be. Lastly, I hope that I can be supportive to other disabled riders as a member of this group.

Sincerely,

Cathy
