In early January my two older daughters, Hailey and Annelise, started riding lessons. Once a week they go out to a nearby riding arena and take lessons on a Welsh Pony named Winston. The girls love it and can't get enough of being around the horses. If they continue to show an interest in riding, the lessons will become more advanced. Their instructor is the wife of my photography friend Rob. For now they are starting with the basics, everything from horse care to tack to basic riding instruction. Eventually they can move up to dressage or jumping. We went for lessons again tonight, the fourth one for each of the girls. Their riding is improving and they are showing no signs of losing interest. So we have signed a lease agreement for Winston and he will be their horse to look after and ride once a week. Eventually they will outgrow him and need to move on to a bigger horse. For now they are having a blast and are really excited every time Tuesday evening comes around.
