Fun in the Sun

Warning: Lots of cute pictures of cute little girls!!
Since the weather has been warming up the girls have been wanting to ride more. Marisa has decided all of a sudden that she can ride--all be herself and is quite proud of it. She has been doing really well; has no problem with being persistent enough to get the horse moving and in the direction that she wants it to go. Imagine that-my sweet little Marisa being "bossy"; of course in her sweet little way.

All attitude-cute attitude

Can we go ride now??

Jessie is doing really well with riding too. This is her 3rd year of riding by herself. She is starting to show good balance and control. Her favorite thing is to make the horse lope. She wants to show and rodeo-we'll see. Right now she is giving Sierra some good back scratching.

Lookin' way to grown up.

Best buds!!

Finally on the horse and lookin' good.

The "Princess wave".

Arm is starting to get a little heavy.

Notice; she isn't holding the reins-apparently she's not worried about a thing in the world-definetly getting braver.

Time to start trotting. Yep, she's getting braver-this is only her 3rd time by herself.

Doing good.

Her she comes.

Woops! starting to lose the hat.

Jessie waiting patiently for her turn. Yep! she is growing up fast and is getting really tall.

Ummmm....I'm not sure what was going through her head..........

but it was really big!

Jessie tall and proud in the saddle.

Missy's turn to sit on the gate and wait. So serious.

There we go!

Jessie making her way around the arena in a nice jogging pace.

Time for some speed.

Here they come.

Notice how green the mountains are right now. Its so nice. There are a lot of wildflowers in bloom right now; its quite pretty.

Lopin' along.

Serious in definitely gone now. Apparently, whatever it was was really funny.

About time to put good ol' Nina up and come in to eat dinner but sometimes you just gotta ride a little bit more even if its just around the house.
