I think Grace has found her thing. She started riding lessons last night and was a natural. She got to work with a horse named Breeze. First she had to tack and groom him and she walked right up and did it.
Next she and her instructor brought Breeze out to the middle of the barn so she could mount him - and I couldn't believe how she just threw her leg over and hopped on.
Once she was on, her instructor led them them outside and showed her how to hold the reigns, direct the horse and move her body for control. She rode with the instructor holding the reins, played a few games and then got to trot - by herself!! She had the best time and didn't want to leave the stable. The entertaining part was when we put the horse up. He could tell we were new and kept pushing us toward the grass so he could graize. We'll get the hang of that part - but I am so glad that she found the thing she really likes !!!!!
