But still, I constantly feel the need to look for the next activity to place her into and figure out what in the world she should be learning! So, it’s been such a pleasure to have one activity that we look forward to each week. She is learning about horses. She’s learning to brush a horse, take care of its feet and how to stop and turn the horse at her “horse class” as she calls it.
After laboring for a while about what to do… t-ball? gymnastics? ballet? music? we landed on trying out a few classes at Joni Fitts School of Horsemanship. Why? Because it’s fun.
Yup, that’s it.
I was over analyzing the whole business only to realize that I wanted to share something that I love with her. I can’t explain it. I just enjoy the smells, the sounds and the relationship with the four legged animal, the horse.
We have both enjoyed our trips out to the barn. And I have enjoyed watching my daughter gain more confidence around the horse. She was brave enough to feed him some treats from a bucket at her second visit and asked if she could lead the horse into the barn on her first.
We are just having a good time and I’m going to place my worrying on hold while we live a little and enjoy something that we both love!
Hi Joy! It is so great to see you on the blog! I was just wondering how you were doing the other day. Happy holidays!
