Part of Jessica's birthday present was the promise of a few horse back riding lessons. The lady who teaches lives just down the road from us and her son played on the same baseball team as Brandon last year. I got to talking with her, took her number and we connected this spring. We tried 4 times to get a lesson in. The first two times it stormed, the next time it was too hot, and I can't remember what happened the 4th week, but FINALLY Jessica was able to hop up onto Sunshine and have a lesson. She has to get Sunny out of her stall, clean out her hooves, brush her down, put on the blanket and saddle (very funny because its bigger than she is), and get the bridle on before she can even begin her lesson. I LOVE that she has to work for it, and so does she. She loves all the messing around and is very glad she has read so many books about horses so she knew what a bunch of the stuff was and how to use it. Lynn is the teacher and she told me she thought Jessica was having fun. I laughed and asked if the smile was ever going to leave her face!
