Riding Samie

We went to Mendon for Xander's birthday party and while we were there Lydia wanted to ride Samie.  She was so excited because she was able to ride Samie by herself; I didn't have to hold onto the lead rope and Lydia got to hold onto the reins.  Samie is a really good horse and will follow me all around the riding arena.  It is great because it does let Lydia think that she is riding by herself.  It has been a great self-confidence boost for her.

 

Brooke loves riding the horses too.  She cries if she doesn't get to be on the horse.  It is fun to be able to let them do things like this.
