Lakota Star's Geldings Rainbow with Kailyn Rainbow is a remarkable, wonderful gelding. He is trained to do halter classes, obstacle classes and give a lot of love. He is my personal gelding that I show from the scooter. He and I have won lots of ribbons in halter and obstacle classes over the past years. I have two goals for going out in the ring. Goal one is to have fun and compete with "normal" folks. Goal two is to show other handicapped people that they can have a horse and do things that normal people do. A lot of people think it is marvelous that Rainbow does so well with someone who is handicapped and he is unique in that he never had a problem with the scooter from day one. Most mini's don't have a problem with it. I have trained Rainbow to obey hand and voice commands in the ring, as my arms are getting weaker every year. He is also one of the sweetest natured horses alive. I can send him into the ring with a 4 year old and he is just adorable with them. Slows down for them, makes sure they are ok, and essentially sets himself up in the ring. Rainbow looks after his little charges like a human baby sitter. I nominated him for Horse of the Year with the SPCA because he does so well with handicapped people and children. I really want other people with handicaps to know that miniature horses can open up a whole new world for them. There have been several people over the years that have been inspired to buy a miniature and participate in the ring after watching Rainbow and me. One in particular was very heart touching. She was a 14 year old, cerebral palsy child who could not walk at all. Her mother approached me at a horse show a couple of years ago and asked me a lot of questions about people with handicaps and miniatures. The next year the little girl was out there with the rest of the kids just showing away!!! She had the biggest smile on her face when she and her gelding placed in halter. There was not a dry eye in the show ring.
