Making My Mommy Dreams Come True- Horse back riding

{me with my first horse, Esprit} I have ridden horses for my whole life. I started at 4 years old and have continued throughout my entire life. I have taken a few years off here or there but it is a hobby that I have maintained with regularity for the entirety of my thirty(ish) years.

Since Eva turned four, I have been waiting for the right opportunity to get her started. I didn't want to get her started last fall as we were entering into winter and obviously the snowy Maryland winters are not suitable for a four year old to spend hours outside in. I maintain a pretty crazy schedule between work, my husband always being gone, and chasing after my kids and I was waiting for the right time to start this intense hobby lifestyle.

That time has come.

Welcome Miss Penny Pony, Eva's first horse.

She is a red roan, sound, lesson soured, POA pony. This is the sweet girl that my Eva is going to learn to groom, walk, ride, and develop her horsey love into a full blown obsession.

I pretty much turned into this at the tack store when we were buying her first pair of paddock boots and breeches.

I am watching my Mommy dreams come true. My daughter is starting her love of horses. MY DAUGHTER IS STARTING TO RIDE! Pinch me.

Seriously, pinch me.
