Yeehaw.

Isabelle started taking riding lessons in September. Because I am the recalcitrant blogger and because we had (A) a broken camera; and (B) a broken computer--I haven't posted any pictures. These are from her first lesson way back when. This is Jeanna she is riding (and who she usually rides, although she has also ridden Indigo and very much wants to ride the paint pony "Whisper").

She of course has zero fear, and very often refuses to hold on. At her last lesson the horse balked at something and jumped back, Isabelle thought it was loads of fun. My little daredevil. Up next: toddler skydiving.








Walking Jeanna by the leadrope is also a big deal. And lately Isabelle has been learning to (well attempting to) use her legs to tell Jeanna to go. Of course, her legs are already so stretched apart she can barely get enough clearance to kick--but she bellows "GO JEANNA" quite clearly.
