Kari's Horse

The first thing we did when we got there was to see if the kids could ride alone. That way we would know if we would all go out, or if we needed to take turns. Kari gleefully volunteered to go first. This is her climbing up onto the horse. The owner/rancher's first rule was you have to get up on the horse yourself, or you don't ride.

So proud of herself up on the horse!!! She still looks a little bit uncomfortable,
but if you look at the pictures, that will change by the end of the day.
Riding around in the small arena. Getting the hang of things.
Still love that beautiful background.
Getting better. And very happy to be on a horse!
This is later in the day. In the big arena. By herself.
We didn't let her go out in the land, but she rode in the arena by herself for a good 30 minutes.
She is much more confident also. I love this picture! :)
Still going. Nothing outlasts the Energizer Bunny!
Love this face. And that happiness. She is a cowgirl through and through!

Now she looks a little nervous at the beginning. But then she perks right up when she gets the hang of it. How cute!

Adorable. I hope that back yard of yours has room for horses!

I love her face too! Looks like fun. :) Tell Kari to keep saving up those pennies for horses!
