After months of listening to begging… and researching the options… and counting the cost… Benjamin had his first horseback riding lesson today.

 

 

Benjamin actually had to get the horse out of pasture, bring it in, brush it, and get all the gear on. With the help of the instructor, of course. She put the bridle on because….well, poor kid,  he is too short yet. But that growth spurt is coming! 

 

 

 

Leading the horse to the arena.

 

 

 

 

Getting ready to mount up for the first time.

 

 

Finally perched!

 

 

Getting the stirrups adjusted. But so happy to finally be on the horse.

 

 

Learning some basic “steering”.

 

 

Back into the barn.

 

 

All in a days work for this future equestrian.

 

 

And for the barn kitty who came and chatted with me while I looked on.

A barn is such a fantastic place to be.
