More Horse Adventures

It was nice that Ed was able to come with Olivia and I to 'horse lessons' this past Friday.  Because I am required to be next to Olivia at all times while she is on the horse, it has been nearly impossible for me to get photos.

Grooming Dixie.  Every session we begin by grooming one of the ponies or horses.

There is a nice little play area for the younger kids.  Lucy was actually happy to play.  After having 5ths, which at this point is not completely gone, she was feeling pretty good. 

More grooming.


Olivia is starting out learning to ride on a bareback pad.  This will help her be a better rider in the future because she has to be very cautious of her balance.  She must sit centered and tall and straight.

Let the riding begin.  Sometimes we stay in the corral, other times we head out on the road and near by trails.  Today was a trail day!  Olivia loved the 'road trip'.



Readjusting her balance.
