Markus and Ginger



This is my first post.  I have been working with my four and a half year old - Markus, teaching him to ride on Ginger a Shetland Pony.  The balance small kids have is amazing.  Yesterday I took him on an hour long lead line trail ride around the Tidal Treasures property including the beach.  He loved it.  Today, although I was a little nervous, to be on my horse instead of walking with him, we set off with our friend Carrilee with Willow and ended up spending about two hours in total riding together.  Markus was ready.  And he was great.  It was so much fun.  Do I see five horses in my family's future?
