The Lesson

Sadie's first horseback riding lesson was a huge success. She really enjoyed it. She's already looking forward to seeing her horse again next Saturday.

In other weekend news, Evan, Sadie and my dad treated me to some weeding and planting in the front yard.



Eden took up her usual command and oversaw the activities from the comfort of the house.

Horseback Riding Lessons

I just signed Sadie up for an introductory lesson at a local stable. I'm so excited! The stable runs an "Itty Bitty Program" for kids ages 3-7. It is a two hour lesson, per week. 1/2 hour is to tack up, 1 hour of saddle time, and a 1/2 hour of after-ride stuff that has to be done (no clue what this is, as I've only been on a horse twice in my life). I was a little hesitant to just sign her up for the lessons, because I want to make sure she's going to have the attention span and interest for two hours at a pop each week, before I fully commit to lessons. But, I do think she is going to love it.
