More Time at the Horse Stables

January 24, 2009 By Laura 6 Comments

  kids-horse-riding-lessons

{A} has loved every minute at the stables with the horses, and learning every bit she can take in.   The trainer said “She’s a natural.”

I am looking forward to her horse riding outside, come springtime, when she continues some lessons.  When there will LIGHT and COLOR.  And WARMTH.  That will make for prettier photos, I think.  These lessons have been nothing less than frigid.  Even in the arena….just bitter cold.  We leave with numb fingers and toes.  And there’s always a smile frozen on {A}’s face, too.

She has to clean her horse’s shoes every time, before she rides him, as well as brush him.  It can be a real task cleaning his shoes well, but thankfully he’s a co-operative horse. So that makes it easier than it could be.

He’s all ready to dress and ride.  Handsome boy, isn’t he?

{A} has learned to ‘post’.  Which is that bouncing you see English riders do, when the horse goes into a bit of a gallop.  Once she learned how to stay in the saddle while ‘posting’, she was all set.

She’s been wearing her Daddy’s gloves to try and keep her hands warmer.  Come to think of it, that’s my jacket she has on.

Yes, spring photos will be so much better.

These stables have little birds flying around all over the place inside.  I forget what kind of birds they are. {A} would know, but she’s asleep at the moment.  What a nice shelter for them though.

They also have a couple of rabbits.  I approached their cage slowly, but I could tell my camera made this little guy nervous.  He probably wet the hay a little,  when my shutter went off.  So I just took one shot.  I heard rabbits can have heart attacks rather easily, and I sure didn’t want to be responsible for that!

Hey-Guess what??

On Monday I am going to start posting, intermittently over the following days/weeks, our Christmas Crafts reveals.  Anybody been waiting for that?  I posted the kids busy crafting gifts, right along through the pre-Christmas season.  But now will come photos of the finished products, materials, tools and techniques used to make them, and where to get everything you need!   We’ve been waiting to post it all, so we’re excited.  Lots of COLORFUL PHOTOS and FUN!!  So all you who may want to do some lovely crafty-gifts this year, for Christmas or anytime,  get out your notepads!  We’ve got at least a few ideas coming your way that we think you’ll enjoy.  We sure enjoyed making them, and giving them to the people we love.

Until then!!
