Back in the Saddle

Hannah broke her wrist and hadn't been horseback riding in over 8 weeks.  With sickness and holidays, no one had been to the barn in over 3 weeks.  The girls were itching to ride!


Rachel got a new saddle and other tack for Christmas and couldn't wait to try it out.  Hannah had been allowed to take her brace off for two weeks, but had been too scared to shed it for more than a few minutes at a time.  She had to wear it for riding anyway, but of course, I was concerned that she had lost quite a bit of strength. 


Kids are so resilient, though.  On Thursday, they got back in the saddle and did great!  It was almost as if they had never left!
