Here are some more pictures from Wed. 9-24-08

This is sweet little Daisey one of the four dogs at the stables. Paige has a beagle webkinz that she had named Daisey so Paige does not have a problem remembering her name.

Miss. Ginette thought it would be a good idea for Paige and Lindsay to switch horses this week. The girls were not thrilled at first but they really didn't have a choice. The teacher knows best and I think these girls would ride any horse they were offered. Any horse is better than no horse.

Look there's our girl holding up C.C.'s front hoof and giving it a cleaning with the hoof pick. It makes me smile to see her taking care of her horse and using her muscles.

Paige's friend Kylie was with us. She has been coming over in the morning's to ride the bus to school with Paige and coming home in the afternoons too. Her and her mom just moved into a condo down the road. It is still in the school district but not the same school. I am glad that Kylie will get to stay with her 5th grade class (her and Paige have the same teacher) since she has been at the school since 1st grade. Next year when they are in middle school she will be able to take the bus to school, but until then she is welcome at our house.

Paige enjoyed having Kylie along. Kylie's mom used to ride and show horses so Kylie was thrilled. I am glad that Paige enjoyed riding C.C. I can tell that it gave her even more confidence. It was also fun to hear her compare C.C. and Calliope. She said "C.C. is a little more responsive and easier to get into a trot, if the horses were cars then C.C. would be a sports car and Calliope would be like our minivan". I just hope she doesn't get to used to the sports car because I have a feeling they will be trading back and forth.
