Almost two years ago, my little girl,(I know she is 13 and not necessarily little, but she will always be my little girl. Smile) was thrown from a horse during horse co-op. She almost gave her Mother a heart attack, but in the end she was fine. Two weeks after the accident she got back on a horse and the horse stumbled in the arena which caused some fears to surface and made Emily decide that she did not want to ride ride again until yesterday.
Yesterday she got up on a very slow and gentle horse named Skeeter. She showed great courage, confidence and determination as she got back in the saddle. The sweet lady in the picture is Miss Janie. This woman is one of the kindest individuals I know. As Emily was mounting the horse she told Emily to remember the verse, “I can do all things who strengthens me, ” and to focus on that while she road. The ride was very successful and Emily is looking forward to riding this winter in an indoor arena that is right next door to the co-op.
Emily gets Skeeter ready for their ride. I think he is enjoying all of the attention.
Miss Janie leads Emily around the round pen and offers Emily words of encouragement.
One proud girl and one proud Mamma behind the camera,if Skeeter could talk he would say he was proud too.
