Since January, my kiddos have been participating in horseback riding and loving every minute of it. It was organized through a local group that we belong to and the kids have learned so much. There are lessons in horsemanship every session, as well, and have included feeding, bathing and general care of the animals. Even kiddo #4 is eager and hops right on despite her young age and size. I think it is wonderful that she will not have a fear of them as she gets older. Kiddo #3, who already is absolutely crazy about animals and wants to be a veterinarian, has taken to it like a fish out of water. If you can tell from the photograph, in only his 2nd lesson, he was taken off of the security rope and was able to steer and guide the animal around obstacles himself. Not bad for a kindergartner who had no previous riding experience! :-)
