A Morning of Horses

Our Keepers of the Home scout group had a simply wonderful meeting today - every girl's favorite subject - horses!  Mookie was SO excited! We met at the house of one of our buddies who used to be a jockey.  Sitting on her lovely porch, we started out with the going over basic terminology.

Next we learned about the proper brushing, maintenance and mannerisms of horses, followed by saddling and bridling.

Some of the families in our scout group either have or work with horses often, so the older girls took turns in showing how certain things were done.

Then came the best part - riding!

Each girl worked according to her own ability.  So, if they didn't need just to try out riding, they worked on training, etc...

We are so blessed to have such a great group of scouting friends!
