Horse & Pony Party

Hudson & Anna Kate were recently invited to a 3rd birthday party that included pony rides.
  Hudson was SO excited to ride a horse for the first time! He waited patiently in line letting every kid go in front of him. He likes to observe before jumping into something. 
 They could choose between riding a pony (which was a little smaller) or a horse. Hudson went on the pony first, gained some confidence and then rode the horse twice.


 He loved it!
 And has asked several times if he can have horses & cowboys at his birthday party. Without asking, he went on to explain that we simply need to drive out west and pick-up some cowboys. Then, kids can have turns having cowboy horse rides.
 After the pony rides were finished, there were lots of kids running around, having fun & playing. Hudson chose to sit and watch the people who brought the horses clean-up.

Anna Kate watched the big kids ride the horses, she pet the horses, helped brush them & hung out with me. There were several 2 year olds who took a turn riding, but Anna Kate preferred learning about the horses and caring for them without having to sit on one. 


A great shot of Anna Kate that a friend took. :)
