Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Connie and we're here at Hearts Adaptive Riding Center in Santa Barbara, California. Hi my name is Mim and I've been riding at Hearts Adaptive since a year after I've moved back to Santa Barbara. And that means I've been riding since 2001. Someone told me about therapeutic horseback riding and I became very excited. Before my illness, I had fibromyalgia, thoracic outlet syndrome and scoliosis. Before my illness I was a very active kayaker, backpacker, climber and what I missed most was going where cars can't. So I said to myself, well, if I can't get there on my two feet maybe four feet can take me. So I instantly fell in love with horseback riding. I probably had only experienced it a handful of times in my youth. So I started at 49 and now that I'm 55, I'm passionate, and wherever I travel I always try to ride, because it is a spiritual experience for me. It is active meditation; it is bonding with the animals. And it has made such an amazing difference in my physical life that I can honestly say that Hearts has thoroughly changed my life for the better."
