4H Fun Day:
Saturday after Chelsea's soccer practice we went to the 4H Fun Day. It was fun, but would have been much more fun if we would have signed up to do some of the hands on things.......We did get to watch the Saddle Up class which was interesting. They explained all the parts of the horse and both English and Western saddles and bridles, what their functions are and showed how to put them on properly on an actual horse. We also popped into the Model Horse area so that Chelsea could see some of the different ways to set things up. This is Chelsea's first year in the Model Horse project.
Riding Lessons:
The girls and I had our riding lessons today. Brandon came along to watch. All went very well. Lindsay trotted on the lunge line for the first time today. She had tons of fun and is still talking about it. Chelsea did very well as usual, she did have a bit of excitement though, the lesson horse shied and spooked a little bit, just a little jump and a fast turn, she rode right through it awesome, didn't fall off and didn't get too scared about it. All and all it was a very good experience for her, because things like that will happen and they are always unexpected. I then had my lesson and trotted for almost a solid hour and believe me my butt is gonna pay for it tomorrow. :o)
Danny Update:
I called to see how Danny was doing and he is doing good. The other mare still hasn't had her foal yet but we are all patiently waiting....very patiently! I can't wait to get him to start working on ground work and start riding our own horse for lessons and practicing.

Sounds like the girls had fun at lessons. I'm sure everyone is very excited to get danny home soon. Do you have any 4h projects to share for us to see?
