First Riding Day of the Year!

Today was the first day of this year that the girls got to get out and ride.  Alex got some riding lessons from "Dad" and actually got to ride the pony a little bit by herself.  She really had a good time and did very well!  Sam was upset because the field was too rough to run the horse... she gets bored pretty fast with walking if she's not out on a trail!
This is BJ teaching Alex how to guide the horse using the reins.


She did really well getting him to stop but had some trouble turning him.

She looks like she is enjoying herself!

Sam is a pretty good rider but needs to become more assertive, we will be working on that this summer!

Sam has decided to give the pony to Alex and keep "Pedro," the donkey, for herself.  He isn't broke yet, but we have been working with him and he is doing pretty good.
