Horses in the Rain!

Last weekend, we had my cousin's children, Bethany & Leah come and stay for the weekend so all the girls could play together.
We had planned a surprise for them all... we took them to see my friends horses!
We got up and drove to Reading to see my bestest buddy from Primary school, Kirsty, and her family. We had a yummy pub lunch before we went over to see the horses.

Bethany is MAD about horses and had a great time brushing Cherry.

Leah had fun brushing Cherry's hair.

The girls did a great job listening to Chloe's instructions while they were around the horses.

The weather wasn't the best, it was raining...
as you can see, Grandad was all wrapped up for the weather!!

Granny, Grandad and Jason decided to go and hide out in Cherry's stable out of the rain!

All the girls got to ride Cherry. Chloe took her out first to warm her up. She is a wonderful rider.
Next it was Bethany's turn! She did great. She trotted a bit too!

Leah was next.
She had fun walking around with Karen, Kirsty's Mum. Karen taught Leah how to do 'Around the World' on her saddle.

Last but not least, was Kayle!
She did really well on Cherry and wasn't too scared! She walked around the field with Karen and was smiling most of the time!

All in all, despite the weather, the girls had a wonderful time! (So did the adults!)
Thank you Kirsty, Chloe, Karen, Chris & Skye!
We had a fantastic time and can't wait to come back... in the Summer!
