This morning Alex went with her friend, Marisol, on her very first horseback riding adventure. She was so excited to ride on a "real" horse! When we got there they brought in Taz, a white horse, so the girls could brush and pet her. Alex had no objections to that. She really liked getting up close to the horse. Then they gave the girls riding hats to wear, Alex was so cute in that riding hat!! Then when I lifted her up to put her on the horse I expected her to grab onto me and not let go but she didn't do that at all. She sat on the horse and held onto the saddle exactly like she was told. We walked down a trail and I walked along the side of the horse with her. We stopped at a river and decided to take a muddy path into the river. It was really muddy and Alex had to ride the horse without me walking next to her and she did great! She loved it! Then at the river Marisol went for a walk with her horse in the river but Alex didn't want to do that. In fact, she only wanted to stay on her horse and didn't want to get off. After a little break at the river we walked back to where we started and the girls got off their horses. Then they got to see chickens, baby chicks, and big rabbits. Alex wanted to pet all of them! Then she asked if she could go back on the horse. I said No, but maybe she can come back another time to go horseback riding!
