My little brother and his wife Kirsten invited me, my sister and all our kids to come horse back riding with them last weekend. We opted not to tell the kids because we would hear about it all day until it happened. So we surprised them and they were so excited.
Carm was totally loving it. She would ride around with either Kirsten or My sister. She would have rode with me if I was actually riding but since Baby #3 is on the way I decided to stay on solid ground until after. Then maybe I'll venture onto a horse. I haven't been on one since I was like 5.
Tay and Rusty riding Snowman. They would fight over who got to ride him. Most of the time they rode together. Eventually they got to each ride on their own.
Carm and Aunt Holly on Toby.
Aunt Kirsten and Tay on KING!! I have no idea what kind of horse he is but I remember he weighs around 2000 LBS and is a very large beast! But the mellowest I have seen.
Tay by herself on Snowman.
She loved it!
Since we are city folk! Our kids aren't as exposed to riding and roping and cowboy stuff as they should be. But when they have the opportunity they usually take it. They love animals and doing all sorts of things. I'm glad they got to go. And for once I haven't been asked since to ride a horse again. Maybe they forgot or they haven't seen one to remember to ask. I'm sure we will go again. They want Dad to ride with them next time!!!!
