Riding into the sunset!

Morgan continues to make amazing progress each week in TROT. She is learning to sit up so well on Monty and is riding longer and longer each week. In fact, for the past two lessons Morgan has rode for the entire hour.

When Morgan rides there is another girl that rides at the same time. She is much older (I believe she may be in high school) and so she has a much bigger horse. Morgan loves her horse, Bart. Every time Morgan and Monty are in the riding arena Morgan always asks "Where's Bart?" A few weeks ago Morgan and Monty raced Bart and his rider. It was a lot of fun, so during her lesson on December 2nd her OT, Jess, told Morgan that if she did a great job riding they would end the lesson going on a trail ride with Bart. Morgan of course did an amazing job and worked hard, so after 45 minutes of riding in the arena it was time to ride off on a sunset trail ride. Morgan was so excited! She kept yelling "Mommy, follow me... follow me Mommy!"


Here is Morgan and Monty following Bart and his rider.


The sun really was setting when we were out on the trail, so some pictures are not the best.


Along the trail there were many fun obstacles. This was Morgan's favorite.




Morgan enjoyed the noodles so much that she had to do them again.



After 57 minutes on Monty Morgan's trail ride was coming to an end. Instead of saying she was ready to go home Morgan asked her OT, Jess, "Go again, trail ride again."

Jess kindly told Morgan that Monty was hungry for dinner and that she could take another trail ride after her next lesson.
And we did just that.
