Little Rider

Victoria has really taken to English riding lessons- Hunter/Jumper. This is something that she has been asking to do for some time. She is learning all the terminology, how to lead the horse out of the stall, saddle them, brush them, and of corse ride them. Her favorite horses are Cookie and Penny.While on the horse she has the best posture (much better than even in her dance class) and is learning how to be strong, commanding and use her voice. Her trainer, Ms Kendall, is so sweet with her but really challenges her at every lesson. Victoria loves going to the barn and asks everyday when she can go again. There is so much to learn about this sport; it's a whole different world. We are all learning as we go.

O'Neill is really intrigued with the farrier. He loves seeing Clay work with his tools to make the horse shoes.

The buckles are tricky - the whole process of getting the horse in and out of the arena is a lot of work!
