Good intentions redux

I had not intended to revisit the good intentions performance idea so soon, but then y'all had to go and suggest a therapeutic riding scene for my poor mangled youth doll.

You see, I just happen to have a little wheelchair in my prop box...

and it is a perfect fit for my newly "customized" doll! 

I've owned the wheelchair for more than a decade, but my plans for a therapeutic riding set-up go back even further than that.  During my college days, I volunteered as a sidewalker for a therapeutic riding program.  That experience inspired me to start gathering parts,pieces and documentation for a traditional scale horse therapy scene.

All that documentation is hard copy--further proof that this is an old project idea!

Here's a good reference picture for someone hoping to salvage a one legged doll. 

As per usual, I have several pages showing just the tack!

In a rare fit of motivation, I built this mounting block/ramp in 2002.  Unfortunately, that's as far as things got.  I have never used either ramp or wheelchair in a live or photo show set-up.

It really wouldn't take a lot to make this show worthy.  In the meantime, here's the good intentions version.

And just for grins, here's the more traditional therapeutic riding set-up with a walking horse.

Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's post.  I actually feel inspired to sit down a make a few small (therapeutic) tack items.  I haven't wanted to work on tack in ages, so this is a very good thing!
