Horseback Riding

Back in March my friend Tationa invited our family out to their farm and see all the new spring babies! We also got one of her three horses out so the kids could ride. Well, I got a turn too! And then I said something like, "I could get used to this!" and Tationa said, "I could use the help working the horses"... and so my riding began!
I get to ride once a week (I could do more but I can't spare the time - I wish though!) and this is "Star". She is 6 years old and is as wide as a bus! She is very gentle and extremely patient with me as I learn... sometimes she pretends she doesn't know what I mean.... but I've been riding for 2 months now and she actually comes to greet me! I am enjoying building a raport with her and learning how to ride a horse!

That is so fun! The only time I have really ridden a horse is on those trips they take a lot of people on... so nothing as exciting as what you get to do!

I am seriously impressed by you. I love horses, I think they are beautiful, magnificent animals. However, riding them scares me to death. I have a few times but we were walking very, very slowly. But I still thought it was awesome.

Looks like lots of fun!;) I'm glad you and Tationa are able to spend some time together. Oh...I miss you guys! Looks like you're a natural on that horse!

Hey Kings! Just stopping by the old blog to see how ya'll are doing. Any good news with what ya'll were down here for a few weeks back. I have been keeping your names in the temple once a week. Hope everything is going great.
