An October Day

This morning we decided to do something fun and festive: Horse back riding!
We bought our tickets through the school and I was so anxious about it all week.
I have a love/scared relationship with horses... They are just so massive and it's not like they talk, so who even knows what they are thinking?!

I put my anxiety and nerves aside this morning and went... Once I was on my horse I felt good and I was ready to go. Kaley and Brett are of course naturals, and were practically laughing at my fears. My fears were realistic though...

You can imagine my ease and breath of fresh air when I got to my horse and read his name tag:

It was fate and definitely meant to be.
What better name could I want for a horse that I'm scared of??

Kaley's horse loved her. So much in fact, that one time he pinned her up against the fence. Kaley loved it- I would have been kicking and screaming...

Brett of course is a natural.
He loves horses, and he is so good with them. His horse, Oliver, had some authority issues- he really wanted to be in front. He was pretty stubborn and bucked Kaley's horse twice!!
But of course, Brett handles it like a pro is was so calm and I think he secretly loved the adventure of it all.
