Mara was here today. We went to the barn, fed the horses and rode Laddie. Once we got the horses fed, Mara wanted in the tack room. I did not know why she wanted in but I opened the door. She went straight to the grooming basket and got her brush.

She knows the routine. We groomed Laddie and trimmed his rear feet. Then we saddled and Mara got on. I have wanted to know what to do to improve her seat and balance. After today I think her seat and balance improve the more she rides. Last time she fell off. We were all concerned and she paid attention the whole time and did not loose her seat. Well all of us except Mara, I don’t think it bothered

her one little bit. Mara was sporting a new riding helmet. I was surprised at how well it was designed to fit and protect various sizes of small heads. Available at WalMart. The pink matched her shoes perfectly.

Short discussion on technique. Mara was very patient.

  1. John, this is so cool! Little Mara will learn horse things from you the right way and you are so lucky to have her. I love it. Jody
