Aaron Michael's First Riding Lessons

After a couple of weeks watching his sister have fun at riding lessons, Aaron decided he wanted to take riding lessons too.  His first lesson was on a pony named Joey.  Aaron did a really good job steering with the reigns.  The instructor forgot that we had lessons scheduled that day, so we ended up having both kids take lessons at the same time.  Because of the mixup, Elisabeth also had to ride the pony instead of one of the other horses she was used too.  At the end of her lessons, the instructor said that Elisabeth should move up into group lessons which basically means she has mastered the basics.  I think she's very excited to join a group.  In the group she will be able to help groom them, get her saddle ready, and have more interaction with the horse.  Aaron will continue in private lessons until he has mastered the basics as well.
