Small group today - makes it more intimate group & less like a session. Anyway we started with scooping horse poo. Not a favorite chore but it does feel satisfying making it cleaner for the horses.
The small group included Kisenette today because Siem was on a job interview. She was a fantastic helper, I was glad to have her with us.
We took Pawnee & Johnny for a good walk so they could share some energy with us. Even without riding a horse, there is still a lot going on with kids trying to lead a 1,000 pound animal.
The horses got some gentle grooming and hoof picking .
Final event is the ride - all enjoyed it and learned some new skills this week. The physical work-out riding provides strengthens our core muscles and improves balance posture and coordination, not to mention the confidence boost {it is magic}.
And Bubbles had some fun with fetch.

We squeezed some time in for a snack and some circle time too.
When we get clients coming back several times - we get to bond a little and start to trust in the group, nice work.
