Jake's New Name

Last Wednesday while giving a lesson to Sophia (a rider who has a speech delay), she gave Jake a new name. We have been working on telling her horse to go. I believe that while teaching students the normal comands, such as, walk on, is important. However I want to tach my students words and concepts that they can apply anywhere. I wonder where any of my special needs students are going to use the words "walk on". Instead, I want them to learn a concept that they can use at home, school and anywhere they are. Anyway, Sophia had been working on - "Go, Jake", she was so excited she said "Go, Cake!". I did a double take, but good horse that he is, Jake started walking!
