We had such a nice time riding horses for the twins 9th Birthday. I found a Groupon (2 for 1) so it helped save some money. Chatfield Stables is about 20 minutes from our house and they did an awesome job helping all four girls who have never ridden before. 

 We rode through some fields for about 30 minutes and then thru the woods single file for another 30 minutes. Quite the adventure. Took a little video on the trail on my phone. 

 On the trail! 

this picture cracks me up! Look at what the horse is doing and look at Ari's face! 

Horse Show Fun

 About a month ago, a sweet family in our church gave us tickets to see the Westernairre show. 

The riders are mostly all teenagers- pretty impressive.

It was super cool- lots of horses riding fast and lots of tricks. 

The kids did great for the 2 hour show and sat thru the whole thing. There was so much going on that it was hard not to pay attention. My favorite was the battle reenactment that they performed- complete with infantry and indians. It was very loud. 

I would do this again in a heartbeat. 

Next time, I would try to get there early and get seats in the upper rows. It was hard to see over the fence. And of course, as we were leaving the girls told me they want to learn how to ride a horse!
