Our young guests got to wake up at 6am for an early morning riding lesson. During the summer our trainer gets to work at 3 am to beat the heat. That way the cows and horses do not overheat. So this was the middle of the day for her. Both children got to cool down the horses after the cow cutting training and got instructions on western riding.
Here are our visitors with their catches of the day. After catching a few perch on a sunny and windy afternoon a bass was finally caught then released. A great day of fishing on the pond here in Missouri.
Our young rider Sage got to ride a top notch cutting horse, Jill, today around the arena. She got instruction from Angela Ball a seasoned cutting horse trainer here in Missouri. Angela is great with all levels of riders. Sage is learning western riding basics for the first time. She normally rides English.
We have had visitors from Houston, TX visiting us on our farm this week. The kids wanted to ride our mares so off they went. Dolly and Luna got a workout this past Monday. Both kids had a blast on our mares riding our fields. We will have to keep smaller saddles around next time for our smaller guests.
