A few months ago I got a flyer from the Zoo about their equestrian programs. They have a class called Mini Horse Hands and it’s designed for 3-5 year olds. The stables at the zoo are really nice and the price was right so Peter and Bay ventured to the zoo every Saturday morning in July to the class.
The good news is that she LOVED IT. She was an amazing listener, brave and had a great time. The bad news is that most of the kids (and their parents oddly) were terrified of horses (please let me know if you understand why someone would sign their kids up for horse class if the kids and they are terrified of horses – because I cannot for the life of me figure out why). So there was a lot of standing around waiting for the other kiddos to warm up to take their turn. Needless to say, we won’t be signing up for another round of classes, but we will definitely be looking for a stable for her to take some more lessons!

Careful Beth, this becomes a VERY expensive obsession. Trust me. My parents thought it was a “phase” when I was eight and I still ride to this day š
Thanks for the warning Tasha!!
I love that she went with Peter every Saturday. Such a cute father-daughter bonding activity.
Also, that’s a very interesting post title. My first thought was not of Bay being a horse hand, but of little hands that looked like horses.
