Back in the Saddle

Our children had the opportunity to go for a little ride on a horse. They had a blast. I am so amazed by how quickly they gain confidence and trust in those rather large (but very friendly) creatures. The ranch workers have amazing skill to help the children relax and enjoy the horses and their horseback riding experience.

Jersey #3 practiced waving to me while the horse was in motion...


Jersey #2 is still a bit nervous, but asked to ride a second time


Jersey #1 loves horses. She is very comfortable in the saddle. She was given the opportunity to steer the horse entirely on her own, and loved it. She has been asking to take horse riding lessons.


I was most shocked when Jersey #4 climbed up on that big horse! She has only pet a horse before, and has been way too scared to ride....until now.


Jersey #5, on the other hand, can't wait to be big enough for his turn!
