Horse back riding

I have always been horse crazy since I was a little girl. I have been in horse back riding lessons for 3 or sessions now. I am now getting ready for my very first horse show this weekend. It's part of the Special Olympics. The place I take horse back riding lessons is called Ride Your Horse. It's therapeutic riding school.
 This past Saturday we went to Norco and went to Thrifty Horse and Boot Barn with a few moms and their girls from the show team. We had a lot of fun. I got boots, chaps, a shirt, a jacket, and a hair net with a black bow on it. Before we all went to shopping we went to this ladies house and saw her horses. In her side walk was 2 horse shoes.

 

Then after that we all went out to eat. We went to a restaurant called Saddle Sore Saloon. When you drove up the the restaurant you felt like you were out of state. You felt like you were back east. The city of Norco that we were in had a total country feel. I felt like I was in Texas.

 

 

Being in Norco is so much fun.

This session of horse back riding I have gotten to do so much more than I ever dreamed or even thought of doing. I'm so excited. This round of horse back riding I have gotten to ride the horse all by myself with no side walker or lead line.

 

The next thing I never thought I would ever get to do is walk the horse using a lead line.

 

                                                      Last night at the last horse show practice I got to walk the horse using a lead line. I was so excited and speechless. If I were not on the show team I would not be learning so much so fast. I have been practicing obstacle courses, going through the diagonals, equitation, walking the horse with a lead line, etc. This has been a very exciting round of horse back riding lessons for me.
