Beautiful Fall Day!

What a wonderful day today....low 60's, a little breeze, sun out all day. Simply gorgeous.

Rachel has been taking riding lessons with a girl in our ward named Becca Tolman. She is totally enthralled with anything and everything that Becca says or does. It's really cute. Today she had a lesson and she wanted me to take some pictures of her at her lesson and riding. She has been learning on an English saddle. She said, "I love it at my lesson because I don't think of all the things that are bothering me, and I only think of riding Shianne (Becca's horse). I love being with her." I thought that was the sweetest thing to say, that riding brings her such pleasure. Here are a few pictures from her lesson. Oh, and because I was there, she got to canter for the first time! What a pro!



Grooming is the first thing she does when she gets to the barn.




She has to pick the mud out of her feet before she rides. Shianne just had her nails trimmed today.



Grooming her tail and mane so she looks beautiful for her riding lesson!
