Relationship to Nominee: Family Member

Type of Award: Lessons

Justification:

Libby is a patient, intense little girl. She looks at horses with love an admiration and always takes the chance to ask if she can pet one or ride one. Libby has had to take the backseat alot, since her brother has many Therapy Appointments and Needs, but she never complains. She is easy to get along with and has a bubbly joy that others find contagious. Her dream is to be “a horseback rider” and get closer to these amazing, wonderful animals that she has such a connection with. She broke her arm last year in two places, was misdiagnosed, and was in pain for days until she had sufficient surgery… through all this, she didn’t complain. Wince, yes. Cry, yes. But never complained, though her pain was acute. She’s a patient, brave girl and deserving of such an award for her ability to withstand trials with joy. She exhibits her name… acting as though FREE!

Justification:

If there is a person of patience and fortitude among us, it’s definitely Liberty. Libby has loved horses since she was little and has been begging for real riding lesson since that time as well. He draws horses, watches horse shows on TV, reads books on horses, and begs to feed them whenever we encounter one “in real life”. Her current dream is to grow up and teach kids how to ride, even though she’s never had a lesson herself. This girl is so deserving of this award for her patience and ability to set herself aside. This past year, Libby underwent surgery for a broken arm through an unfortunate series of events that caused her alot of pain. She also has patiently supported her big brother through many tests and therapy visits as we navigate his SPD. Yet, through all these things, she still has the sweetest smile and disposition. It’s my pleasure to nominate her for this award!
