Mal's first lesson

Yep. Mallorie started lessons today with Ms. Jean. She taught my sister & I when we were kids. Mallorie seemed to really enjoy the lesson. She listened to every word Ms. Jean said. Mallorie normally hangs on to about 3 or 4 words anyone has to say and that's about all she can handle, so you can guess we have never been more proud of this kid than we were this morning. She did everything she was asked to do to a "T". (What is a T anyways?).

Here she is leading Smokey to the cross ties:


Learning to groom:


Saddling:


Up we go!


Today was just grooming and saddling. Next week she will start riding.



And this is what I looked like when Ms. Jean taught me:


Toodles, Karla

Mallorie looks so serious and determined (and pretty, obviously). I love these lessons and that they are just hers.
At this point, she already knows lots more than me about horses and all things related to horses. Horses.

There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. Winston Churchill.
