This morning F was loving being down on the floor with A and X. She thought she was part of their game! She bum shuffled a little bit.
X and A played lovely imaginative games all morning before getting ready for A to try horseriding for the first time.
A went along with her cousin. They had to get their hats on first before going over to the arena. When we got there we had to watch the last lesson finish.
When it was A and her cousins time to go in they were both guided to horses and saddled up. A’s horse was called Tink.
It was then that A began to cry. The trainer asked mummy if she wanted her to come off and mummy said no. Now that may sound harsh but mummy knew she would be ok once she got used to it (just as she did with football and rock climbing). Within the first few steps she had stopped crying and was enjoying trotting around.
The trainer had the girls standing up in their stirrups, letting go of the reigns and folding their arms, putting one arm in the air and stopping the horse.
After the session the trainer came over and said how well A had done especially after she had been so upset at the start.
On the night it was time for A’s weekly football training. As always she enjoyed herself and didnt want it to end. Although this week she was tired on the way home as she had been up at 5am with excitement about horseriding.
Also today mummy was excited to get a delivery of felt for our sewing projects (fellow crafters will understand). Mummy ordered it from a website called wish. Some people dont like to use it but mummy got a bargain with this felt.
