Leah had her first horseback riding lesson this weekend and I think she really enjoyed it. She was very business like and very eager to try everything. She's the smallest girl in her class so I have a feeling they'll end up putting her on the smallest pony most weeks but she'll be the kid that wants to ride the 17 hand gelding. Anticipating a future drama on the drive home I was telling her she should be excited that she'll get to ride the ponies because when she gets bigger she won't be able to do it anymore. Best to enjoy it while she can. I'm sure some of the big girls will be jealous...we'll see in a few weeks if my pep talk worked.
So not only did she learn to tack up a horse this weekend but she also learned to ride a bike without training wheels. We went for a ride down the street and when we came back Leah discovered the boy next door had just learned to ride and that's all the encouragement she needed to ditch her training wheels. She figured it out all on her own and was so proud of herself...I'm pretty dang proud of her too.
