This blog post is dedicated to Clara's Auntie Ann in honor of her first horseback ride :)
Clara got to take her first horse ride yesteray on our neighbor's horse, Sassy. Gary and Mary have 7 or 8 Missouri Fox Trotter's. We frequently drive the Ranger over to their barn and check in on them. Yesterday, Mary's nephews, ages 2 and 3, were down for the weekend from Kansas City and were going to ride. They asked if Clara would be interested in riding also and she said yes. Tom and I both thought she would chicken out when it actually came time to get on the horse, but she climbed right up and sat with Gary. They went on a nice trail ride around the perimeter of their 10 acres.
Clara really enjoyed it and we were pretty proud of her too!

| I like the little smirk on her face and how she's holding on to the reins. |
