R started taking riding lessons last week but yesterday was his first lesson on the horse. Last week he learned how to do the groundwork before riding and safety measures. We thought it would be best for him to ride a different horse yesterday since his horse, Reno, has alot of fire and while he is a good horse, not so good to learn on. So here is my stud on Snickerdoodle. He was so awesome! Sheena, the trainer (horse and human) says R is a natural, he automatically used his legs to communicate with the horse and she didn't need to remind him once. He loped, he trotted and he walked. He sidepassed and turned and even did some barrel work!
The boys of course think he is super lucky and kept asking when they could ride. This after they rode on Monday, just 2 days ago. Isn't he such a stud sitting that horse. Of course he is a stud without the horse but the horse makes it even better.
I think this is just a great pic. Would have been better if I could have gotten them all in but Caleb is just to the right darn it. What a life we live! We are outside so much more now, the boys are so much healthier now and get into so much less trouble. It's great having space to just be and work to do.
