Back to the ranch today with Sarah and Abby. Can I just tell you that Scott CANNOT get enough. We knew we would be going today so last night we read some books about horses and talked a lot about going to see the horses so Scott was already excited. This morning in cardio barre Scott played with the plastic horses the whole time and gave them all kisses. When we pulled in he couldn't wait to get out and go see them all again. Poor guy didn't have his shoes on when we got there so he had to be detained for a few minutes while I got his shoes on - torture!Today was extra special because Scott got to go for his first solo ride. Don't get me wrong hand(s) we on him the whole time but he had his own saddle and everything. He loved every second.
We told him "two hands on the saddle at all times" and he followed this instruction quite well.
He really wanted to horse to go so he jumped up and down/rocked back and forth in the saddle to urge him to go. He looked like a riding pro! He would have galloped off into the sunset if we had let him - the kid is fearless!
It was pretty funny to see such a little body rock back and forth in the saddle as Sugar (the horse he was riding) walked.
There was a little time afterwards to play in the dirt with Abby! F-U-N!
Another successful day!
Fearless is right! Charlie is a cautious little bugger, I'm almost positive he wouldn't even sit on a horse. Such a fun outing for you two!
