Amaya's horse obsession


Amaya had her first, and long awaited for, horse riding lesson last week. After we made sure that this interest in horses wasn't just a phase, John found a stable for her to take lessons at. Amaya was all smiles as she donned her boots, and loaded her tack into the back of our car. On one hand, I think we are hoping it is a phase, based on the cost of every small thing associated with these 4-legged creatures; on the other hand, we have heard from more than one person that an interest in horses often replaces an interest in boys during the teenage years.
So, while mom would much rather have her involved in something a little more athletic, or musical, I will bank on the trainer's promise that this will be instilling some sort of discipline into her little 4 year old soul.

That sounds familiar. My mother-in-law tells an almost identical story and here 19 years after her first lesson, we have three horses, two donkies and two goats. Pretty good for a girl who grew up in a country club huh?

Hi John, this is Jonathan (and Jessica) Powell. You should bring your girls down to see ours. Things are good here. You will have to call me though because I really don't know much about these blog things.

God Bless.
