Riding Joey

Marina on Joey with Caspian snacking in the background

Marina has some new riding boots and she enjoyed using them on one of our beautiful sunny days here on Whidbey Island. When I take her riding I put little Stella in the Ergo backpack, saddle up one of the ponies for Marina and lead her through some of the most beautiful trails around, especially this time of the year with the canary grass standing taller than the ponies, the yellow splashes of buttercups, the continual sound of birds singing and chirping, and the green, green, green of everything sprung to life in early summer.

Stella has no fear of the horse or any other animal for that matter. Above: trying to feed the horse flowers, Below: posing on the horse for a picture. Stella is still too young to ride without assistance, but she loves sitting on the horse
