Aunt Kristin and cousin Erin invited the twins and I to come out and have their own horse time. Janna has been out many times and comes home full of wonderful stories of "The Barn" so her sisters were thrilled.
We got there a bit early and visited Pancake in her stall. Kennedy was wearing her trademark kitty ear headband. Pancake couldn't figure them out and kept nudging her and nibbling on her. Erin showed the girls how to prepare a horse for riding, it was one of their favorite parts - grooming the horse. When it came time to ride Courtney said Kennedy should go first, Kennedy readily agreed. However, once she was on Pancake she was a bit nervous about being up so high. Erin lead her around the area a few times as well as walking over a love jump then she was done.
Courtney was thrilled to be up next. She acted scared at first, but once Aunt Kristin let go she was just fine. She sat straight and tall, at one point she let go of the saddle with one hand to show off. In fact after a while Kristin gave her the reigns and instructed her on how to hold them and move Pancake where she wanted to go.
When it was time for us to go the girls helped brush Pancake and put her out in the pasture. We all had an amazing time. We hope we are invited back again soon (HINT)
