Yesterday Mike brought Sadie and Allie over early. I thought it would be great to ride Clyde in the morning before it got too hot. I talked them out of playing dress up and we headed to the barn.
Allie is very proud of herself that she can walk across the cattle guard without any help now.
We had to make a stop at Golden Boy (not his real name) for some comments on how cute he is.
Draper and GB followed us into the barn so he got some brushing also. I love how calm he is so far.
After rock, paper, scissors Sadie got to ride first. She did a lot of trotting. She is holding on less than not now while posting. (Sorry, no pictures, it talks all my effort to keep Clyde trotting). Allie might have lost the going first game, but Joe entertained her with scooping poop. When it was her turn she even let Sadie lead her around.
Then she wanted to ride all by herself. She did great but still no trotting. After that, they doubled up and I lead them 1/2 a mile down to the mail box and back. I think we managed 2 hours with Clyde.
After that, I took them to town for some errands and stopped at Wendy’s for a late lunch. Then back home for naps before Virginia camp to pick them up. Another fun day a Camp Mimi.

Lucky girls!
Success!! - you have overcome your prior so called "failure" - from a prior post: "After lunch they chose dress up first. I have failed in their equestrian training"
(Another plus - they were wearing pants and not dresses while riding)
