Horsing Around...

Saddling Up
Set and Ready to Ride
Holding the reins like a professional
Back Straight... Sitting Pretty
Making Tommy Beautiful
Pony? I don't think so!
Good boy Tommy, here's some carrots for you!

Friday afternoon, we visited Emily at the barn. Addie had been looking forward to riding a "real" horse all week! I was sooo proud of her. We started off with a little bit of bad luck. Tommy the horse is a fan of carrots and peppermints... who knew!?! Addie was very eager to share her candy with her new friend, but Tommy was a little bit more eager and bit Addie's pinkie finger. She was balling! We had to ice her finger because it started to swell and bruise, but within minutes she was calmed down and ready to ride... no hurt feelings, just a bruised ego. Emily did any amazing job explaining everything to Addie and made our afternoon adventure a true highlight of our week. Addie is still talking about riding Tommy and meeting all of the other horses at the barn! Thanks Emily!

Awesome job with Tommy, Miss Addie! Isn't it funny that horses like peppermints!???
