The Barefoot Princess had her first real riding lesson yesterday. She rode a big pony / small horse named Buzz. Buzz and I had a talk and he promised to keep her safe. I think he was half a sleep during most of the lesson, which was fine by me. BP immediately connected with Sara, her instructor, and was very talkative and confident. I stood back and watched a new BP yesterday during her hour with Sara. It was very clear that this is her thing. She followed directions...heels down, toes up, shoulders back, steer left, steer right, "whoa" to stop, and then (gasp) she and Buzz trotted. She was giddy with excitement and of course wanted to ride again tomorrow! BB got to sit on Buzz before BP untacked and brushed him. We will see Buzz and Sara again later in the week so Daddy can watch too.
