winding down riding at this school

this weekend, we had our last lessons at the local riding school, but i haven't posted any pix of riding of late, so i thought i'd catch up a bit. both days this weekend, sabin rode her favorite horse, zidan. it was a bittersweet parting from him and i think he will miss her as much as she misses him. they have a special relationship.

sabin and zidan get a bit of instruction from peter on saturday

boogie was a naughty pony last sunday. that's cindy right ahead of him. isn't she cute?

here's a hint of the naughties.

being good for a moment.

sabin learned a lot when the instructor helped her school him out of some naughtiness.
it's actually good for you to ride a difficult horse.
we're looking at horses at a horse "dealer" on tuesday. we're pretty excited about that. he's where the school has bought most of their horses, so we're hoping he has the right one for us!

As you know, you can't really learn to ride if you only ride the easy ones. It's a fine line when the child is yours, but to ride, they need to RIDE. Good for Sabin and you for letting her ride a naughty pony, BTW, I got knocked down, dragged and clipped by a hoof today by a nervous equine, so I am probably not a good example!
