I posted this over in the Saddle Club thread, but thought I should share it here too. :-D

It was gloomy with a steady drizzle when we left.

Thankfully, it lightened up and then stopped once we got the horses brushed and saddled. I really liked how the lady who runs the place insisted that all of the riders learn how to care for the horses. Rebecca used a curry comb for the first time. And so did I. *grin*

Today she rode a handsome pony named Rocky. She wasn't happy about being led rather than riding herself around, but this was her first "official" lesson, so all rules had to be followed.

They had a variety of horses there. The paint is Sassy, the palomino is Chey-Annie and the liver chestnut is Dancer. They have about 25 horses in all, but only a few were brought out today.

I really liked Trigger. I hope to get to ride him when my lessons begin.

This place was very pretty with lots of grass and well-kept stalls. The horses seemed happy too, despite the rain that reappeared, forcing us back inside.

I took the chicken coop picture for 2J. :-D

I love it. Great pictures! You're such a great mom!

You would not believe what WE did today! I still can't believe it! Basically, and I'll tell you more later...but we crashed a party big-time...accidentally, but nonetheless, we crashed a hugh party!

Had a blast. I'll tell you in bit. Steve's fixin' to go work on his paper and I'll be able to tell you all about it.

Afternoon Ruthie; looks a great time was had by all. The stable has some nice looking horses for the young 'uns and those young at heart to ride. Good Luck with the lessons.
