Horses

About a month ago my dad's cousin Jennie Mellor, who lives in our ward in Bellevue, took Brent and Anna out to ride a horse and to teach them a little about it. I really was worried that neither one would want to ride it.

Here is Jennie showing them how to give the horse Callie a carrot. It was a little scary to be that close to the horses mouth and Brent and Anna just couldn't do it.


Very soon after getting on the horse they both fell in LOVE with the horse and riding her. Brent actually got to go the fastest of the two. Anna was very upset she did not get to go as fast.

These next two pictures are of Brent and Anna's first ride by-them-selves without Jennie leading the horse. Though she was always very close by!

Brent and Anna also got a lot of time to ride the horse together which was always nice since it was the only time they were not fighting over who got to ride her!

I thought I got a video of both Brent and Anna at one point, but I guess I only got Anna. Here she is doing a little trick Jennie showed her on the horse.

It was an amazing time and I am so glad Jennie took the time out to take us! It even made such an impression on Anna, that without being told to do it by her parents, she went up to Jennie at church on Sunday and thanked her again for taking her to ride the horse. Both of the kids can't wait until we can go again!
