Rachel and her teacher, Ashley and the horse, Barney Rachel started horse lessons today! The little girl who loves all animals, all bugs, all creatures, has finally gotten her wish of taking horse lessons. She has been asking to take lessons for about 2 years. We are lucky enough to know a sweet family in our homeschool group who has horses and the 2 daughters have ridden for years. The oldest daughter is just starting out teaching and Rachel is her first student. I was very impressed with this little girl's organization and patience with Rachel. Rachel loved every minute and absorbed everything she said. The horse she rode was Barney and he's 27 years old. He's very gentle and calm, so there were no worries of him taking off with Rachel on his back. The family has 3 dogs and Rachel loved petting them too. Today she learned how to groom a horse, feed it treats, saddle and unsaddle a horse and mount and dismount. She definitely loved every minute and was very calm and relaxed on the horse. I'm not surprised that she is a natural! We can't wait to see where this hobby takes us!

Love, Aunt Linda
