The girls love horses. They had only ridden ponies though, and I felt they would benefit from a real lesson, so off we went to
Bunker Park Stable (dressed in horse-themed clothing, of course)! The girls were beyond excited.
They started by meeting their horses and walking them to the arena. Jia had Mr. T and Willa had Gracie. The instructor warned us that Mr. T was not a good listener, and Jia was already quite nervous. Gracie, on the other hand, was easygoing and gentle (and as the instructor noted, "Willa's not afraid of anything!"). It wasn't initially the best match.
Concentrating...
They practiced guiding the horses around posts, sitting properly, and lots of
different ways to stop and go. Willa felt comfortable right away. Jia
was scared at first, but was brave and did it!
Is this the look of excitement or what?
In the end, Jia was so proud of herself! We were too!
Guess what they want now?
