Sammie started horseback riding lessons. We stopped by Rocking T Ranch last week to inquire about summer programs for her age group. They told me they only do private lessons for 3-6 year olds. I asked them if they thought she was ready and they said they had an opening for a lesson and they could try her out to see if she was ready. She had a lesson that day and they said she is definitely ready!!! The kid loves horses and loves to ride! Her trainer's name just happens to be Alyse. She is wonderful with small children. Sammie rides for 1/2 hour. She is learning how to tack and groom as well as ride. She rides bareback with only a saddle pad so she can work on balance and be able to feel the horse better as she squeezes to give commands. She is doing great!! Here are some pics of her on Biscuit. As soon as she gets on she has the biggest smile on her face! She is so happy!

She sure looks like a pro and it's funny how her trainer's name sounds like yours...can't wait to go see her in competitions. :)
Hi Illyse- Sammy looks like a prof cowgirl. Where's the hat? Hope you are getting lots of great pics of this.
That is so awesome! Go Sammy! What a fun sport to learn. I am glad I can visit your blog again. For a while I lost the link.
