Emmy has been taking horse lessons from my friend Molly, who teaches at her home. She has a large enclosed arena and several well-trained horses that are patient enough to handle a child rider. This has been the one activity Emmy is always excited to go to—she asks about it every week!
Her favorite horse to ride is Walter. He’s one of the younger horses and has a bit of an attitude, just like she does. Sometimes they’re not the best match because they’re both headstrong and want to do things their own way, but Emmy loves the challenge of riding him. It’s always fun to watch her learn and improve each week.
While I sit in the barn, I usually end up with a cat or chicken wandering over for attention and settling in on my lap. Thursday nights have become something Emmy and I both really look forward to.
