With the start of the school year, we moved our program to Wednesday after school. We had 3 clients today, one new girl and 2 returning clients.
Today was his 2nd time, and Danny ‘s confidence and skill level was much higher than last time. The first time he attended he was so nervous he asked if his mom could stay with us, this time dad dropped him off and Danny was ready to roll. We worked with DD today and rode bareback with a pad. When riding without a saddle the person needs to have good balance and it takes more confidence to stay up on the horse, and DD is a tall horse. The mini donkeys got some fun time in the arena with kids and a few treats, celery is their low calorie treat.
Mary came to our very first session, and was so scared that she was tearful and asked if her mom could stay. What a difference, now Mary has been with us several times now and has changed dramatically. She does very well with all the horse activities. She can pick out the horse hooves and help tack them up as well. Shown here she is removing DD’s fly mask and look at the tall posture she has when riding DD. This beautiful mare is allergic to fly bites and must stay covered with fly sheets and masks worn when she’s not at work. DD is a very tall paint horse with beautiful palomino coloring.
We had a shorter session today but still made time for each client to have a chance to ride DD and get to know her a bit. The day was warm and we shared a cold drink and visited with Pawnee and other horses. Today was Jennifer’s first time and she fit in immediately with an easy friendly demeanor and was good with the horses.
