Riding Horsies

Last week was Spring Break so we took advantage of time off from school to do lots of fun activities including a trip to the barn to ride a horse.  It's no secret that Avery loves horses, and my mom has been talking about taking her to ride a horse for a while now.  Stephanie assured me that this horse was just a little bigger than a pony but when we got there, it was a tad bit bigger.  It did not look like the little ponies that you see in pony rides.  I wasn't sure if Ave would be brave enough to ride a horse that big but she definitely proved me wrong!
 
A natural right from the beginning!
 It kind of freaked me out to have my child so high up on a horse but she never seemed nervous at all.  In fact, within a couple of minutes she was telling my mom that she wanted to do it herself.  
 


So proud!


Sophia's turn!  She came prepared with her boots.

 
After they each had a turn, the girls fed some horses carrots and then helped bring Lucky out to the pasture. 
 

Sweetest thing ever

After the barn, we went to my parents' house for lunch.  It was the most beautiful day, and I think everyone had a great time especially Ave!
