This is going to sound terrible, but I could do with a break. I'm full time carer for Dd (who has cerebellar atrophy) work 2 jobs, and have 2 horses.
Dd loves riding but since her illness she hasn't been able to ride the deamon pony, so just goes for a plodd on my big girl every so often.
The cerebellar atrophy effects her balance & co ordination. She uses a wheel chair for longer distances. It effects a few other bits, like swallowing and talking but nothing so major yet that its a huge problem. It is degenerative so no idea how long she'll be able to walk/talk/eat and do general day to day things, which is one of the reasons I'm thinking this summer might be ideal for a riding holiday.
She went on an activity holiday with ndcs for 2 days and had an amazing time,so I don't think shellmiss me too much.
I know its aweful but I feel so run down. This year has been utterly shit & I need a bit of restbite. Feel terrible but at the same time think its what we both need iyswim
Has anyone else shipped their children off on a riding holiday? Where did they go? Which companies etc. We're based in the east midlands/east anglia border.
