Happy Thursday!
I am currently sitting at Meadow Ridge Horse Stables watching my daughter tack up her horse. We had been coming mid afternoon and it was hot with no breeze. Last week we started coming later in the day. Tonight it is a beautiful evening with a breeze blowing and the sun slowly going down. My daughter has ridden horses for 3 years now. She fell off a couple of years ago and bruised her pride. While she got back on that evening she had major anxiety after and took some time off. I have enjoyed watching her gain her confidence again. I think we all have instances where we get our pride bruised by something in life and need to overcome it. Kids seem to bounce back a lot easier than us adults do. If you are ever looking for riding lessons for an adult or child, I highly recommend Meadow Ridge and their trainers.
