The First Ride...of many!!!

Well, he finally did it. He got on a horse. For those of you who know Tate, he is obsessed with horses and loves to read about them, feed them, talk endlessly about them, but until now he had not gotten the courage to actually get on one! On Saturday, after the Great Egg Hunt and a good nap, Daddy and Boots had the horses out and he got interested, but not up to the challenge, that is until Cousin Ellie was put up on San Shoe. Well, it took a total of about 2 seconds to see that she did not explode when put on the horse and it was all of a sudden his turn. He started out on Pancho with Daddy and then rode San Shoe with Boots. I am sure this is the first of MANY rides...Boots, get ready!! About 5 seconds after Rooster put him on Pancho

Not wanting to get off!


This is easy~Thanks Ellie for the peer pressure! :)

By the way...Emmy had a logical excuse for not riding...

apparently it was because she did not have her hat on...believe that?? :)
