Our little girl is now 3! I can’t believe I am writing this! This month’s Just Us was captured this morning when we surprised her with a horseback ride for her birthday. We are very fortunate to have a stable only 10 minutes from our house and had a great experience at Hanover Stables with Blaire who helped coordinate our visit. When we arrived, Berlin was able to help with grooming her horse Chestnut and help with cleaning his “frog” on his foot. Nigel was supposed to ride as well, but he felt the horses were a little intimidating. Poor Barrett ended up being Nigel’s personal horse, as he ended up giving him a ride on his back for part of the trail lol!
I am so happy that Berlin had a great time. She was so confident in the saddle. She even rode most of the time by holding on with one hand! I am not sure if this is the beginning of a lifelong love of horses, but for now I she had a great birthday!
