horse-play around wimberley

I escorted the daughter and a friend to a day of the horsey lifestyle. they received an english style riding lesson and horse care lesson from bel canto farms near wimberley

the daughter was happy to be riding the white horse. but somebody later suggested it may not be safe, so she was paired with a much more docile horse.

fitted with boots and helmets, they assisted with saddling and bridling.

PULL!

I've never really liked horses. they're much larger and smarter than I am. but the horse above, blue... we were quick friends. very gentle and seemed to enjoy human contact. his eyes followed my every move. I trusted him with my daughter.

the girls had time with a trainer to become familiar with their horse. and some instruction in "english style" riding.


the trail ride was short but nice. a few obstacles etc. it was near meal time and the girls had to work to keep them from snacking on grass.
