1st riding lesson

       

Spring Down Equestrian Center

Portola Valley, CA

i signed ivy up for a mommy & me horse riding lesson

and we had the best time!

it's a little series that goes tuesday mornings in october

that i found online.

and it's a whole other world out there! 

so beautiful.

right around the corner.

she was so excited when we got out of the car

and were walking around a real barn with real horses.

she wanted to pet each one.

then she was fitted for a helmet and boots (too cute)

i got some too (not as cute) and we were set!

there were 4 or 5 other boys and girls.

her instructor was so nice and her horse's name is Oreo.

i didn't know what to expect but it was a real lesson- 

lots of instructions and she really had to concentrate.

kinda hard i thought but it was good for her :)

then they colored horse pictures. 

not sure how long she'll stay interested, but fun for now!
