1) I am doing my mentorship at a facility called Leaps and Bounds. Leaps and Bounds helps disabled children by hippotherapy. Hippotherapy is a physical, occupational or speech and language therapy treatment strategy that utilizes the horse's movement.
2)My contact is Casandra Sanders-Holly.
3) My total mentorship hours are about 25 hours.
4) In the 25 hours of my volunteering, I have side walked with the children while they are on the horse. The purpose of this is to make sure the children are safe and don't fall off. I have also helped get the horses ready to ride. I have groomed, brushed, and saddled the horses. I have also set up and put away the equipment we use. I recently have even gotten to lead the horse in a day of therapy sessions.
