Olivia had her first horse back riding lesson this week. She has been wanting to do this for months and she was so excited. She kept asking what day it was because she knew her lesson was on Monday. Once we got there, she was looking at all of the horses and asking what their names were.
This is her with Prince, the horse she's learning to ride on.
She asked a lot of questions. This is her with the trainer, Ms. Janel. They were looking at the pregnant horse. It will be so fun to see this horse baby after it's born!
First they learned about safety of a horse and then she got to lead him around in circles a few times.
Next she got to get right on. I thought once she realized how big the horse was and how high up she was that she would be scared but she wasn't at all!
She learned how to hold the reins, make the horse go forward, turn and stop.
Gray just played in the dirt the whole time. On the way there he kept asking if he could take tractor lessons. I'm not sure there is such a thing.
Olivia literally never stopped smiling the whole time. It was so sweet to see her so happy and she looked like such a natural on the horse. I think this might be her "thing" for a while. She keeps talking about the barn cats and the horses. She's quite the animal lover, I wish I knew where she got that from:)
