It's been a while, but Noa had a really great weekend and I got some great video of her on horseback, so here I am! Noa has been working to increase her independence and communication while riding. So this week, Noa's coach Auntie M put a bell on one of the horse's hooves so she could count his steps and then use that information to guide the horse - for example: take five steps and then stop. This turned out to be a genius idea because Noa has been obsessed with bells lately (she has them sewn onto hats, her shoes, wristbands, her coat and bracelets! The video below follows the trajectory of her learning how to do this - all in just one half hour session! You may hear extra bells - as a Christmas gift, Noa had made rhythms beads, with bells, for Aunt M's horses Evan and Crane. So Evan is wearing other bells - but they sound different from the bell is actually on Evan's hoof. That's what Noa is listening for. Above left: Noa making rhythm beads for Evan. Above right: Evan wears the beads that Noa made for him.
