Zina and the horses

Our Zee loves horses. She liked them from the first time she met one and at the ripe age of two years, she made such a show about Elio being allowed to ride and not her, that Billy finally put her on a horse. She never looked back.

She usually rides once a week with six other children, Elio included. She looks forward to it every week and insists to ride "on her own" (without the groom leading the horse). Yesterday however, she was given the opportunity of an individual lesson. We explained to her that she needs to listen to Mr David, focus and control herself in order to control the horse.

She did amazingly well, picking up the rhythm of the rising trot and even cantering a few strides. David's only complaint was about the length of her legs: they are a bit too short yet...
