Today was a fun easy day. We had 3 girls, all who have come before. It’s great to see the kids bonding with the horses and each other. Today, the older girl helped out with the younger ones in a supportive, kind manner.
We had fun with the mini donkeys, Daisy & Fiona. They will be leaving the barn soon, so we made sure to show them big love and gentle activity. These small creatures are so perfect for the shy kids who need to grow some courage around the 4 footed/hooved ones. Much gratitude to Fiona & Daisy, plus their owner who loves to share.
Riley was able to join us today, with the restriction of no girth strap. That meant we ride him bareback - no pad - which is new for these kids. It can be scary, fun and a little scratchy but feels uniquely intimate with the horse.
It was gratifying to see the younger two girls bond today. I sent them off on a chore together and they set off at a trot and were connected in the challenge and successful in the outcome.
Another beautiful day at Take Flight by Pegasus!
