Haley and Horseback Riding Lessons

Because Tom is a softie and Haley is a “Daddy’s girl”, Haley is taking horseback riding lessons.  She has liked it well enough that we actually bought some riding boots.  I thought I’d post a couple of pictures.

Here she is with Ebony.

Haley is taking lessons from a friend of ours – she and Spencer were in the same class in elementary school and in the same ward until a few years ago when her parents moved to a different neighborhood.

Working on trotting.

Taking care of Ebony afterwards.

Haley is enjoying herself greatly! I’m hoping learning how to tell a horse what to do will help her be a little more assertive in the rest of her life! I dread thinking what it will cost if she really falls in love with the whole thing …
