One of Kendall's birthday presents was an hour and half horseback riding lesson. She LOVES horses. So Saturday morning we loaded up and drove to Bel Canto Farms in Wimberly for her lesson and Taylor got to get in on the fun also.
Before they got to ride they got all suited up in riding boats, helmets, and some legs things that I don't know the name of.
Next up was cleaning the shoes and brushing the horse,
learning to put the bridle and saddle on and now it time to ride!
The instructor was amazing with the girls and taught them to start, stop, turn all directions, walk over things, and much more.
They got lots of freedom on their own.
Then it was back to the stables to learn how to take the bridle and saddle off and give the horses some carrots!
This is Kendall and her horse Brandy
Taylor (she had to wear her cowboy hat) and her horse Buttons
Taylor's horse was the craziest horse I have ever seen. Buttons loved to smile!
You can see all her teeth, so funny
It was a great experience for the girls and they loved it.
A few hours later that day we had a neighborhood crawfish boil. All the kids decided to "play" with the dinner and have races. Kendall didn't want anything to do with them but Taylor was brave enough to hold one. She even put one in a cup with water and wanted to keep it!
