Horse back riding lessons

Autumn and Ephraim got to take horse back riding lessons! It's very fun for them. Except when Ephraim's horse decided to roll while Ephraim was still in the saddle. The teacher yelled and ran at the horse to keep it on it's feet. The horse bucked and bolted, Ephraim flew off, landed under the horse and the horse jumped over Ephraim's head. It took a while for Ephraim to be convinced to get back on...scary!!! But he did it. He also put in a call to Uncle Nathan, rodeo man, to share the experience. It's so cute when Ephraim is trotting in a circle, he loves the feeling and sings gleefully as he goes. Autumn looks "fancy" posting on her horse, she belongs on an English Saddle....

Wish you had a video of all the excitement. Glad no one was hurt! Good for Ephraim getting back on the horse. That is a brave boy!

I am so glad that he was okay. Holy cow, I would have died. I think it would be harder for me to let my child get back on....let alone the child being scared.
