1st Official trail ride for the kids!!!

I have been looking forward to the day that I could feel comfortable enough to take my daughter trail riding with me. Today was the day! Ahlispharaoh and I have talked about this for a long time. You know how we used to do this and that with the horses when we were young and we aren't dead yet. But when it comes to our kids we are scared to death to let them do anything! Well we got some pics to show everyone. There aren't any of me because I was behind the camera.

Alhispharaoh's daughter and her mare Bella.


My daughter on her new pony Dancer that I posted about in Meet the HOrses in front. This pony did so well. Of course she's been on this trail with her previous owners. Alhispharaoh on grey mare and her daughter on pali mare.


My view.


Getting a drink.


She loved the water.


More trail.


That smile is priceless!


Heading back to the trailer.



I was excited and nervous at the same time. I'm glad they had a good time and look forward to taking them again.

Well I'm not sure how I did this but I double posted this thread. I'm blonde.

Thanks, Seer! <---------This was me the whole ride.

ETA: Thanks mods for deleting the double post.

I had a great time. I know Catherine did! She is ready to go back. Her mare is worth her weight in gold. Wish I could find another one just like her!

I'm glad I snatched that pony up when I did.

I was tempted to take something to calm my nerves. It's hard being a parent.

I wish I could take my daughters with me on trail rides.... But at the same time, I keep hoping I don't. They would probably fight or whine the entire time.

Great pics, glad ya'll had a good day!

What great pictues. That is my dream as well to go riding with my daughter. Is your daughter riding without her feet in the stirrups. If she is, she is doing awesome, she looks so relaxed.

What great pictures! I would so love to do that, maybe one day I will get the ponies bombproof enough to feel like I could take them on a trail with the girls, other than the one at our place.

Yes, she is riding without stirrups. That saddle was borrowed from Alihspharaoh and is 16" I think. I've got one coming for my daughter but it wasn't going to get here before "The" trail ride and I couldn't tell her to wait as she was so excited. We had already postponed it one day for a funeral the day before.
I was very pleased with her she did very well.

It's loads of fun. I'm sure your girls would enjoy themselves.

That Sarge is a total character. He is an awesome awesome horse all around. I know that thunderbay703 will not part with him

If she does I wiill snatch him up, and I gave up a long time ago owning a great paint horse.

Great pictures. I love kids and horses together. Takes me back to when I was that age.
Way to go, Moms! What an awesome way to bond with your daughters. Hopefully it's something you can share for years to come.
