Celebrating her birthday for the second time – this time actually on her birthday Maddie and her friend Anabel went horse (pony) riding at the local stables. They were both absolute naturals, now I’m sure that’s partly down to the well trained horses who probably do this every day but even so, by the end of the introductory lesson they were trotting around in different directions, turning left and right and even managing to stop when they were told to. I have to admit to a mild panic in that I thought there would be pestering along the lines of “Can I have a horse daddy” but despite the initial enthusiasm I don’t think four legs is going to be as important as the new 2 wheels! As you can imagine I took a few more pictures which can be seen here.
