HORSES!!!!!

The kids (Lydia mostly) have wanted to ride a horse for MONTHS (maybe years) and we finally found a place for them to ride! We are leasing the horse for a very small fee, the owner appreciates us exercising her horses. We can go as often as we want for as long as we want! It was so much fun. I think Darwin was almost in tears to be back in his comfort zone. Lydia was extremely peaceful and just content, you could tell her spirit was pleased. Trevor loves animals and was happy to be with calm horses. I enjoyed taking pictures of them loving horses! They did so good, they followed direction and did almost everything Darwin asked them to. (there are life lessons to be learned in circumstances such as these...) They took great care of the horses and had a wonderful time. It is so beautiful here, there are many horse trails weaving through the neighborhoods and lots of places to ride safely. It was a wonderful day.

The video below is of Lydia. She learned very easily how to command the horse. She had a great time, even though she got bit by the horse while she was trying to feed her carrots! Notice in the video how calm Lydia is and how she is able to direct the horse.
They both learned so much that day.
