Horse back riding!!!

This is Kolby's first horse back ride :) Luke flat refused to get off Beau (our Paint horse) so Kolby sat behind him. They only walked for a few feet, but Kolby was smiling the whole time.



Can you tell in the picture that Luke is the happiest kid around. He LOVES riding our horses. He had the biggest smile on his face while riding with Dewey. He was laughing and did not want to stop riding.



He is getting pretty good at sitting in the saddle and holding on to the reins. Dewey still holds on to whichever horse he is riding and walks them around the round pen. Luke looks so small sitting in the saddle I'm sure he if was not making his "cowboy" noises the horses would not even know he was there. I'm pretty sure it won't be long before Luke is riding by himself.

How very cool! Your boys are both so lucky to get to be around horses. We have to drive over to our neighbors to see horses. Both our kids love horses. Yep, Luke is a natural "Cowboy"! I am sure his little brother wont be far behind.

Awww...those are so sweet!! I know ALL of my kids would love it if we had a horse. I think the community association would have a problem with that though. :)

I am so jealous...we love horses! Obviously, those 2 do too. They are adorable! Glad you had a nice Mother's Day.

That looks so much fun for them. Our girls both got to go on their first horseride when we were away...they loved it too.
How wonderful to have horses...Luke looks very comfortable up there doesn't he. And Kolby looks pretty happy too!!
