Riding Lessons

It had been a while since I took Keira to her riding lessons.  I am so blessed that my mom takes her every week!  When her lesson was reschedule to Wednesday because of weather, the kids and I took the opportunity to take Keira and watch her ride.
Patrick and Mercy played in the bench swing for a little bit while the other kids played a game as we waited for Keira to come to the arena.

The lessons always start with leading the horse around the arena to allow the horse and rider to make sure they are comfortable together.  Keira looks so confident and in control!

 She is always smiling when she gets to ride.  And that smile is infectious!

I am amazed at how far she has come since she has started riding!  She is sitting so well, and she is controlling the horse all by herself!
