Today we had 3 young girls join us for the program. Its refreshing to see the horses greet each participant as an individual.
This week we were lucky to have Bob to ride. He looks like Riley’s twin and acts similar too. The kiddos all had a chance to enjoy a ride and short trail ride.
This young girl, Janna, has a wonderful smile and shares it easily. It made me notice how a genuine smile can shine and raise the group energy. The warm weather gave us a thirst for cold water and we drank deeply.
The mini donkeys are fun to visit with Fiona, the one pictured trying to sniff my ear has a bit of extra fat pockets, but that doesn't stop her telling Daisy (light colored girl in front) just where to go. Daisy & Fiona get tiny halters put on and then we walk them around the farm. All the horses keep a close eye on them as we pass. When we take off their halters in the arena usually they rollover on their back scratching in the warm arena sand. Some days they get a wild hair and start running around, we call that mini ‘zoomies’ and stand back as they gallop around in big circles.
Bob had some nice riding time with all the girls today.
