Kids Day @ the Barn........

We sponsored a kids day in Wisconsin & had 7 children, 3 horses & plenty of adults......


                       The first group showed up early.....


                     Blackjack was watching from the cross ties


               Tia was very interested as she watched from her stall.

And the Buddha could have cared less - I had lunged & rode him before anyone arrived & he was NOT interested in anything :)



                          We had grooming lessons......


                     Some kissing time for Tia - from Wendy :)

               



                The second group soon arrived....note the stroller.


            And the riding began - Caitlin did great on Black Jack


                            Ryan & Bud figured it out


                               Mom even rode!!


Melody, Kayla & myself all had our " charges " leading them around the tract.



               Here are Jasmin, Holly, Olivia & Eva + the Buddha


Caitlin & Ryan on Bud & Blackjack - who is asking Bud " when is this over again "?



                 And last, but not least......Antonio on Tia.



We had a great time with great kids & great horses....followed by a delicious picnic lunch.   The kids also received goody bags that contained gummy bears, Mickey D GCs, photo of Bud & Tia, horse stickers, balls & tattoos plus a info sheet on horses.


I was SO proud of the horses - they were very well behaved in the heat w/ inexperienced riders & numerous trips to the mounting block.  And yes, they were adorned w/ apples & carrots before being turned out to re-coup from their very busy morning :)
