Merritt Joins Pony Club...

Pony Club... that name makes it sound so cute and playful. Well, after our first meeting, I wouldn't describe the amazing young women that are jumping 5' high jumps and fallen trees all at a full speed gallop as such. Merritt had an amazing full day learning about every aspect of what is "her sport." It was amazing and I learned just as much. She's becoming more and more comfortable with pushing herself to new levels (gulp) and focusing on the tiny skills that will help her in Dressage. It's all so very complex, but she loves it and can't wait until summer so she will have more time to spend at the barn!

This is Cairo (that's our precious Oscar in the background) after a good walk, trot, canter lesson.
Yes, Cairo is the same spunky Arabian that Merritt came off of last summer. She's forgiven him...
