Horse Back Riding

Just in time before the rain fell, the boys had their first experience riding on a pony at a friend's farm. They did enjoyed seeing so many wonderful animals. When we entered the ranch, the first thing we saw a huge peacock. I did hope to see a peacock with feathers sticking it out. We did make several attempts. It did not work, but at least I took a good shot of a close-up peacock.

Before the boys rode on a pony, they had to learn to brush the pony and clean the hoof off. We did have a wonderful trainer. Dylan was the first one who volunteered to go on a pony. He went on several rounds. Ryan was on the other hand. At first, he did not want to go on a pony because he feared to fall off a pony. I had to bribe him to get him something-- a Blue Puffle (Psst, he will get it one for Easter's anyway.) He did enjoy for a little bit around.

After they finished riding on a pony, they visited several other animals: pigs, goats, rabbits, donkeys, and cats. Many of them was braved enough to feed the animals. In fact, they wanted to work on a farm so they could get a free horse back riding this summer. It was a nice way to end of our Spring Break!
