Little Riders

E got a big surprise yesterday when her aunt blindfolded her and took her for a drive to a "very special place" - turns out that place was 75 Avventura! E has been taking lessons with us off and on for over a year and her aunt wanted the two of them to go for a little ride together and we were more than happy to oblige!

Meanwhile O and his sister L were joined in their lesson by their young friend S and it was her first time riding. Simone gave her an introduction to how to hold the reins and did a few exercises to get her to feel comfortable but little S was already pretty fearless.  O worked with Fiona on the longe line, practicing squeezing with his legs and giving pressure with his heels to make his horse move forward. There were smiles all round!
