Horse back riding



This summer the kids have been horse back riding a lot. They usually have lessons at home, but this summer they wanted to take some lessons here, where we have our cottage. I have been wondering who to contact and what to pay them. I mentioned to one lade from a local Red Cross office and she said that she knows two girls who have horses and that she could ask them.

And some days later we met and the girls have been riding about 1-2 times a week since the beginning of our vacation. They really like it and have learned a lot. We pay the girls 50 SEK for every lesson and horse. That is a very nice price and we have some weeks left, so that they can go horse back riding. 

Last time they took a long riding lesson, out in the forest and the girls looked like happy sunshine, when they came back. The time before the oldest girl fell of the horse and hit her head and shoulder. She was a little bit sore during the evening and the next day, but nothing after that. All is fine now and she has fallen before, so she knows how to do and react. 

I think that the horses are beautiful and I am happy that our girls have learned a lot. 
Happy new week!
Blessings, Niina

It sounds like your girls are having a great time. I have a 14 year old granddaughter who loves horses and is planning to take some riding lessons soon.

God bless and have a great week :-)

The girls have had a lovely summer and are so, so happy that they have been able to have riding lessons. And I hope that your granddaughter can soon start her riding lessons!

It is all about horses over here! =)
