Horseback Riding Lessons

Tabitha Hill was fun enough to do Horseback Riding Lessons for Chiropractic Adjustments swap! Each boy was at a different level emotionally and physically with riding. Every Tuesday this summer we would be at Horseback Riding Lessons (English style!) by 8a!
She taught the boys how to groom the horses, how to walk around and talk with a horse,
how to saddle up a horse, what the different parts of a horse are (the boys especially liked the part of the hoof called "the frog"! but it was SURE hard to clean the mud out of it!!),
we cleaned out the stalls and the corral,
played red light green light (one of our favorites!!) against Tabitha's dog...
By the end, Tabitha had them all feeling very confident on a horse, giving it directions, guiding and even TROTTING!

At the end of their summer of lessons Tabitha congratulated them by giving them Certificates of Accomplishment and we had our own Horse Party right there in the Barn!
