Ethan Jay Horseback Riding Lessons

Ethan Jay took horseback riding lessons for six weeks and loved every second of it. He really loves all animals and had no fear, even of the very big horses! They started each week with a bucket full of carrots that they went around the farm and feed the horses with. Then we practiced riding the horse and all of the different positions on big barrels. Then the children went and took turns riding a big vaulting horse. The first turn was slow while they did the moves, then the second turn was faster. Then at the end of the lesson, they got to go brush a little pony. So much fun!

Here he is riding Ted. This is the owner of the farm, Mr. Russell.

He is turned around backwards holding his arms out, practicing balance. Ted is a vaulting horse and the older children do amazing shows while riding on his back. Pretty cool!



Here is Zack, their minature pont that the children got to brush at the end of each lesson. He was so sweet and calm while he had several children around him banging him with brushes.




Ethan Jay and Ava, bestest of friends!




Here is a video that I took, enjoy, but keep in mind that I took it on my regular camera while holding Emma Ann and while turning round in circles. So I guess it didn't turn out too bad!
