Yana said, "I'll die if I don't ride a horse soon!"

     As soon as June sets in, the weather has been pretty much inconsistent. We’re much happier that the rains cool the ground and air, but pouring rain and wet area limits Yana’s opportunity to ride - especially when school haven’t resumed yet… Because comes school days and Yana will be back to weekend rides again.

     Yana is always excited to ride. That’s why it doesn’t surprise me when she asked this morning if it would be possible for her to ride tomorrow morning?

     Take her away from the stables for more than two days and she would be uneasy.

     “Mommy, can I ride tomorrow morning? Please!”

     “You rode just a day ago. Will you die if you don’t get on a horse?” I teased.

     “I’ll die if I don’t ride a horse soon!” Yana said nodding.

     LOL

     And as if heavens heard her prayers, her instructor invited her to ride this afternoon if it doesn’t rain. So guess what she prayed for next?

     “Please don’t make it rain!”

     And it sure didn’t.

     So, Yana is indeed a very happy girl today.

Yana- horseback riding lesson

Yana- horseback riding lesson - canter

Yana- horseback riding lesson - cross poles

Yana- horseback riding lesson - sitting trot

Yana- horseback riding lesson - circle

Yana- horseback riding lesson - cool down, walk

     She rides “Rain” for her horseback riding lesson. She gets to trot, canter, cross poles, do reverse, turn on the haunches, do serpentines, and more - and just enjoy being on a horse. 

     "Is it expensive?" - the most common question we get when people hear that Yana is into horseback riding (and they are mostly surprised because they know we're average income family). 

     Honestly, it's not cheap but it's not that way too expensive. It's really hard to put a price tag in your child's happiness.

      I guess when your child is truly passionate about something (that she even thinks she'll die without it) - we parents, will support it for as long as we can. 

     And most of the time, when your sole purpose is to help people and make someone really really happy... and you work really really hard... - the universe lends a helping hand.   :)
