When I was young, we helped with cattle work a lot. That meant I was riding before I started school. I loved it and never thought anything of it. But, for some reason, I haven't made it a priority with my kids. Yes, I want them to know how to ride and to feel comfortable and confident doing so. But, I haven't felt a need to rush that.
So, when Sugarfoot is in the pens, and when it's a good time, we get him out and practice in the round pen. This was one of those days...
It goes a bit like this: We have one serious rider who loves it.
We have one who could take it or leave it.
(with a little help from his brother trying to get the horse to go faster)
We have one who would prefer a bunking bronc.
And one who just loves to do anything her brothers do.
Thank goodness they have the best teachers and are able to learn to ride when they can!
