Horsey, Horsey

When we were little my mom used to sing this song:

Horsey, Horsey on your way,
we've been together for many a day ......

I can't remember the rest of the lyrics (shocking) so I usually make up new ones."

I always loved that little tune. Well it was going through my mind yesterday, as Avery had her first Horse back riding lesson:

They each got a stall to clean out when they first got there. I thought Avery would be grossed out shoveling poop....She didn't even bat an eye, just grabbed her shovel and got to work!





They learned to saddle their horses (ponies).




The satisfaction on her face, as she took off the horses saddle and pads and carried them into the store closet was just priceless. She seemed so old and responsible! I was just beaming with happiness and pride. We got home and she told me it was one of her best days ever. And that she couldn't stop thinking about her horse Katie.

What an Awesome Mom she has!!! There is nothing more memorable then the smell of a horse barn and saddles and all that jazz! It just makes me happy thinking about it and I didn't even like horses when i was little but still have super fond memories of the stables! Although if this horse bug bites her good it is going to cost you a fortune! :) Just sayin...:)

Avery is such a hard worker, it's a good thing her Mom taught her that.

That is so sweet!!!! I think it's great that she's learning to be responsible at such a young age.

What a fabulous mom you are! And what a great experience for Avery. You can tell from the pictures that she is having the time of her life. :)
