It's going to be a post extravaganza today! So much to catch up with; thanksgiving, playing with friends and all around cuteness.
We spent Thanksgiving with Uncle Ron and Aunt Gail. Great food, great people and a great new adventure. Gail gave us the treat of a lifetime, Ali's first horse ride! Dad was more nervous than the horse even.
Gail went up ahead and when we got to the gate.
Gail was soothing Bailey. Poor Bailey was ansty without her herd within
sight. We all patiently waited to see if Bailey was going to allow us
the opportunity, it all respectfully rested on her shoulders. Gail
finally felt that Bailey wasn't bothered enough to call it off.... What a
magical memory!
Introductions and Salutations
Up she goes!!!
The first few rounds with Dad hanging on
Around and Around they go
Ali was a natural at posting. Definition: To rise and fall in rhythm with the horse's movement
at a trot. Posting helps the horse stay in balance and the rider from
bouncing on the horse's back causing discomfort to them both. What a treat for all of us, even Bailey!
It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend, special thanks to our wonderful host and hostess!
