The girls were told this morning that this would be a "No Devices" day, so they had to put away their phones and tablets and get out in the real world.
The struggle is real....
but so worth it! We investigated the pond and it is Beamer approved. There is still some ice on it but most of the snow is gone except where it was piled up.
One of them got a tractor driving lesson. Then I brought Rosalee out and all 3 girls really enjoyed riding her. I think I have the 2 oldest talked in to spending more time with me so they can learn how to ride her well enough to show her at some of the open shows around here.
Considering that she hasn't been ridden since last November, Rosalee did really well. A couple of times she was more concerned about where the other mares were than paying attention to her rider but she was easy to correct. I think she will make a good kids horse.
Hopefully tomorrow the weather will cooperate and we can ride again- only this time I want to get some butt in the saddle time! It's been way too long!

Looks like fun:)
I can't believe how good Beamer is with kids...and Rosalee, too. It looks like a wonderful day for the girls!
Linda- if Beamer didn't have that kind of disposition, he would have been a gelding. :)
Looks like a great day and always fun to teach the girls to ride. Hope you got a ride too
How fun to share your trustworthy horses, and pass knowledge onto the next generation! The girls must love coming to visit your place.
What fun for he girls!! You have the perfect horses for them to learn so much! :)
How fun. I love Rosalee. And of course Beamer :-D.
