Summer Riding School

The girls got a special Christmas present this year: Summer School at Four Oaks Farm! 
Besta and Besten treated them to summer riding school in the long holidays - six weeks of riding school! Yay!

This was our first day - the girls learned to steer the horse, make him go and stop, and then cleaning him and the equipment. All aspects of horse riding is covered, not just the riding, fun bit! Our horse's name is Vroom, and he is quite a cheeky horse who loves carrots!

Here's Elliot in action
Milla is doing really well and steered Vroom in between the cones, no problem!
This is Claire, our teacher. She owns the farm.
Agnes in the paddock. It's a beautiful farm, don't you think?
Come on, Vroom! Off you go!
Time to give him a sponge bath. Vroom was really sweaty - it was a hot day! 
Good girls. Listening to Claire's instructions. 

Then time to wash his equipment
This is where Vroom's equipment hangs
And finally, putting his saddle away.

  1. Du verden for en attrakiv rideskole. Hadde aldri forestillt meg noe så nydelig, når vi sponset julepresent dit. Sponser gjerne med flere "lessons" hvis det skulle bli aktuellt å fortsette litt til. Klem Besta.

    1. Tusen takk! Ja, jentene vil fortsette, og vi tenkte gi dem en lesson hver mnd. En lesson koster $130, saa vi tar gjerne imot tilskudd, haha:-)

    1. Yes, they love it so much, that we are going to continue going there once a month. Milla is looking forward to when she can go on camp up there (when she is a little bit older!)!
