Madison's Riding Lessons

This fall Madison has begun to take riding lessons at Cambria Stables in Yardley, PA. When we asked her what thing she wanted to do most in the world, she told us more than anything she wanted to ride horses. Since it is a pretty expensive hobby, we were lucky to find a stable that would work with our budget and allow us to come every other week for 30 minutes and borrow a helmet. She's been learning out to tack the horse to prepare for English riding, and how to control the horse and groom it. I've been learning as well... there's a whole world of all things equation! 

She wasn't required to wear tall black boots, but when she saw these ones at Children's Place, they looked like real riding boots!

Madison walks her horse out, and has ridden several different ones. 

She's on Chewy, riding in the "Two Point" position...

She's been trotting, cantering and learning how to direct the horse....

This is Madison with her favorite horse, Trooper. He's really old, but kind. He also likes to roll in the mud, and is really dirty about 90% of the time. Maddie doesn't mind, and will gladly brush him and pick the dirt out of his hooves. LOL.

This pony-loving girl is in heaven when she's on a horse, and feeling the wind in her hair. I am not sure how long her love of horses will last, but for now we are making some precious memories!!
