Such a wonderful weekend! Such a gracious offer by Nathan and he was such a wonderful host! It started pouring rain when we first got to the barn. Despite being soaked from head to toe, Nathan said he still wanted to do this with us -- and was apologetic about the weather. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's very knowledgeable about the different breeds and was an AMAZING teacher. I'd ridden horses before and it was a nightmare then... but this was FUN!
Thank you, Nathan, for an amazing time... and thanks, Ellie, for sharing these!
I still want to do that horseback ride with you and whoever else will go along!
