Emma's lesson is from 3-4 pm every Sunday. But lately, we've been spending a lot more time at the stables. She wants to go early to watch whoever's lesson is going on and then she wants to stay after to help tack up the next horse and to tag along with the girls doing barn chores (watering and feeding the horses, cooling the horses down, etc.) So far, no mucking out the stalls, but I have a feeling she might not even mind that!
So we are spending more like 2.5 hours at the stables instead of just the one hour for her lesson. She just wants to hang out there all the time. The stable is too far out in the country for me to go anywhere else, so I've just been bringing a book and sitting in the lounge reading while she helps out. I can think of worse ways to spend an afternoon.
Anyway, here's a (sort of blurry) photo of Emma riding this afternoon...she is so totally comfortable on her horse, it amazes me!

I SO loved riding when I was young too (still do, miss it)- glad she's enjoying it so much!
She has great posture up there, her confidence shows!
How great that at such a young age, Emma knows what she loves. You are one amazing, although bankrupt momma realizing and fulfilling her dream.
This picture of Emma is precious!

Wonderful getting to see all the great pics of your girl. I just now got to read the lip gloss post and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I always feel your posts are a taste of things to come for me. I so appreciate your honesty, reading about pushing the boundaries at bedtime was very helpful. Why was I thinking this would get better by itself? I better start putting my foot down now, or we'll be up all night.
She looks like she loves that horse! She is soo cute!
I really hope Glenys finds something that she will really like to do as much as your Emma does!! I don't hope it is horses though I won't stop it.
She looks so at ease on the horse! Sounds like lots of fun for her and I've heard that it really gives a girl a lot of confidence! She is quite adorable with her missing bottom teeth too.
