Ok. We are back in the archives. But some of them are really cute. Like Amelia's first chance to groom and ride her cousin's pony Dusty. Dusty is a pretty big, but fairly mellow pony. Bea had never been for a ride on her either, so the two girls were on a little adventure together. Bea was pretty at ease around the horses while Amelia showed some hesitation.
First they brushed her. The girls had to crawl up on a step stool to reach her. Amelia seemed to like this part. She was eager to pick her tool and climb the stool. I held her hand for reassurance for the actual brushing. Then the girls tried sitting on Dusty while she was tied up. Bea was pretty happy. So we added Amelia with her. They seemed pretty happy, but Amelia was too crazy about being up there alone when we took Bea off.
So we saddled Dusty up and gave Bea a spin. She loved it. Just what Michelle has been waiting for- a child that is enthusiastic about riding horses! Amelia wasn't sure if she wanted to go. But I am pretty sure she is happy that we were patient. She seemed to like it quite a lot.
Sadly our camera ran out of batteries (or memory) while we were trying to film. But we did get a cute little clip of Bea riding Dusty that we will post shortly!
