Well, Jacob has been waiting patiently (well, sort of) for this day for many weeks now and it finally arrived. Today he began horseback riding lessons at a local equestrian center. I think it was all he had hoped for and maybe more. He learned how to brush his horse, clean out its hooves and saddle it up. Then it was time to ride "Macho Man." He seemed a natural out there in the arena - following directions as he steered Macho left and right around the arena and in circles. He even got to gallop once - by mistake. He told Macho to trot once and apparently Macho is said to forget that word and sometimes gallops. It was a very enjoyable experience for everyone. Nicole enjoyed watching and Andrew was mesmerized by his first look at a real horse. We'll be there again next Monday, ready to ride!
