Playin' in the Dirt

I will admit to yesterday being a proud and exciting day for me. You can't help but get excited when your child shows interest in something that you love to do.

 

All Kurt can think about is dollar signs (cost of ponies and horses) and the smell of two stinky girls coming from the stable. Oh well.

Kylee and I decided to visit the stable yesterday afternoon since it was such a nice day and we finally had a break from dog walks. She loved running around everywhere.

She loved to chase all of the chickens and roosters and could not understand why they would not let her pet them.

When it came her time to ride, she walked straight up to the pony in its pasture and helped brush her and tack her up. Once in the arena she kept demanding up and loved riding by herself. If we stopped or got off she would state up and go. Anyone watching her ride was amazed to find out that this was only her second ride by herself and that she was only 19 months. (Yep, you sensed a little bit of bragging there.)

She also rode with me and then led my horse back all by herself, (wish I had taken a picture.) It was funny to watch her lead a 6 1/2 foot tall horse by herself. It was definitely a very proud moment for her, but she is definitely going to stick to riding ponies for now, (less feet to fall).
