I have had this Groupon for pony rides for the kids for almost a year. They have been dying to take lessons so I thought a pony ride would be a good place to start. I really had no idea how much they would love it.
Before they ride, they have to brush their pony.
She was not at all too sure at first. In fact, she was downright terrified. We thought that she would get right off. But the amazing trainers worked with her.
My middle child was next. She is the one who has been begging for lessons.
Next, they brought out the big guy:
She was not too sure about the bigger horse:
My youngest was thrilled to get on the bigger horse. She looks so little.
Of course you have to tip your pony! Good thing we brought carrots:
This guy wanted more tips:
This girl (named Tootsie Roll) just wanted to nuzzle the kids.
It was a good day!
I highly recommend taking lessons from Trip at Fruition Farm here in Atlanta (or Palmetto and Smyrna to be exact). Give them a call but make certain that you get Trip. He gives lessons and really was just born to work with horses and kids. 404-512-0834

About Stacie
It looks like your kids had a great time riding! I am glad to see them wearing the proper safety helmets. I am surprised however, that the stable had them ride bareback like that, especially for a first time ride. That can seem more intimidating to someone not used to being around a horse, or riding one.
