Horseback Riding


My Dad took us one morning to ride the horses. He and my brother, Matt, own a few Missouri Foxtrotters. We had a blast getting to ride them around. This is the first time Benjamin has ridden a full-sized horse. These are just WAY cooler than ponies! :)
Benjamin looks like he belongs in the saddle. Howdy, Cowboy!
There's my Dad with Benjamin and cousin TJ on their horse.
There was Dad, me, Benjamin & Eliza, Connor & TJ, Matt & Wesley, and Brittany & Gabe. We all had fun.... Connor & TJ gave the kids rides in the wheelbarrow much to their joy. :)








Born in the saddle! Benjamin looks especially comfortable... I swear he's not sitting on top of the saddle horn. :)
Below is a pic of Brittany and Benjamin feeding one of the horses an apple after we were through riding. Benjamin didn't know exactly what was going on, so when the horse nipped that apple right out of his palm, he was quite surprised!
