Ride'em Cowgir!


February 18- So for Christmas we gave Addi and her best friend Sophie matching shirts and a gift certificate for Boots & Bells Equestrian center.  They finally cashed in on the experience!  It was SO much fun!  Sophie and Addi got to groom "Credit" (the name of the horse) and then have a riding lesson.  They did amazing!  The lesson was pretty intense.  I am not sure that I could have done it! The only bad thing was that the arena that they rode in was SUPER cold because it wasn't heated.  The girls were so cold but they didn't want it to end either.  Landon even got to go for a ride! 

 Puttin on the tac
 Sophie did such a good job!  She was first to go and she was awesome!  
 such a little helper!
 We found a couple of cold weather things in the car...but it was chilly in there! 

 Best friend hugs...they are the best!
 They played this game where they got the horse close to the sticks and then she would knock them down.  Landon was trying to knock over the polls.  It was a lesson in steering the horse!  Pretty advanced!  It was fun!
Overall it was a great experience!  I guess Sophie loved it....she is still talking about Credit a couple weeks later!  Woohoo.....that says it was a perfect gift! And the girls have the memory together...even better!
