Riding Lessons


Xaiver and Naomi have been taking horseback riding lessons once a week for 6 weeks.  

They have 2 weeks to go then Christmas holidays.  

We’ll see if we can keep it up in the New Year.  

The stable is only 20 minutes from our house and has an indoor riding arena.  

They are loving it.  

Naomi rides William (said the French way) and Xavier rides Billy (again said with a French accent).  

They have learned how to ride with feet in and out of the stir-ups and how to trot.  
They have done a little jumping and are learning how to “bounce” with the horse when he trots.  

I don’t know the technical term for that.

Hugs,

Mary

  1. Very cool. For a long time horses reminded me of big dogs. I was afraid of dogs as a child and thusly afraid of horses too. Once in a while I get to ride one and they are not so scary. Glad to see your kids enjoying horses too.
