Mrs. B has horses! Imagine our delight when we discovered this the first day of school! It was a match made in heaven between Mrs. B. and Emily! Below are the girls meeting Diesel.
Mrs. B. has 3 horses but to make things easier the girls rode one horse- Bart. They each got a chance to brush Bart before saddling up. 
Emily was in heaven! 
The girls put their helmets on and were ready to go! 
Mrs. B introduced us to many people and animals along the path. She is patient, sweet and "gets" the girls and their individual personalities. They rode two at a time and switched out along the way. Grammie and I walked with whomever didn't ride- but Emily usually walked with Mrs. B., helping. 
There are peacocks everywhere- we saw quite a few males showing off their stuff to the ladies. 
Below we are returning from our adventure (notice the peacock on the roof!)
The girls give Bart a well deserved treat!
Maddie and Bart now have a special connection... 
While getting some solo riding time Bart almost rolled over on Maddie while she was riding him. Mrs. B was able to stop him from doing so, but the result was a buck and Maddie fell off. It was scary- but she is ok! After some TLC and rest, she was a trooper and got back on him for the ride back to the house. I am very proud of her for being so brave. We kept an eye on her the rest of the day (thank goodness she had her helmet on!) and gave her some Tylenol before bed. She was up and at 'em today- she's one tough cookie!
To finish the day we BBQ'ed hot dogs and then went for a swim in Mrs. B's pool. It really was a wonderful day and we are so grateful to Mrs. B. for having us at her home. It's not often you come across a teacher like Mrs. B.!!!!
