This was great. Connor really liked the horses. Lee's brother Kraig & his wife Nancy have about 18 horses at their ranch. We wanted to take Leonie to visit some of our family and this is part of what we did while we were there.Besides practically force-feeding them hay, Connor just really loved the riding part.
When I asked him later to tell me what he did, he must have strung 50+ words together in 8-10 sentence fragments about feeding and riding the horses. That's more than I've ever heard him say at once.
He sat on the white horse and said, "I'm cowboy! Let's go! Giddy-up! I'm Connor cowboy!" It was great.
The brown horse, Tia, was more skittish, so she needed to be led. The white horse, Trinity, was much more calm, so Connor could steer and ride more on his own.
We'll have to do this again soon.

That's awesome to see Conner to happy and gushing like that.
Wow, that really looked like fun! You have Kaleigh drooling next to me! She was impressed to see Connor on his own. We may need to do the same when we come up! Think that can be worked out?
Oh yeah - sure. You just need to BE HERE long enough to do that. It's usually a whole day kind of thing.
But Nancy was already saying she wanted to have T&D come for a longer weekend. Diana has some very good riding skills, but just needs more experience. Trevor is fine on Trinity alone, and that's very good for confidence.
