Presley and Alek

One of the big topics in our house this season is Alek. Alek is Presley's training horse. She started lessons at the end of August and is still LOVING every minute she gets to ride and spend time with this horse. He is the sweetest horse and so patient with her. I wasn't sure if this would be productive or not for her since she is so small and her feet don't reach the stirrups ( not sure how to spell that ), but holy moly has she learned so much and already riding the horse without someone leading her. Crazy to watch her up there.

Presley is learning how to groom and bathe the horses (they have 3 different types of brushes they have to use and in a certain order), she know how to turn, stop, and communicate with Alek, her posture is super strong and she knows all the terminolgy. As soon as she is tall enough to fit in the saddle correctly they are going to start trotting-yikes:)

She has such a love for these animals. She is so comfortable with them and loves on them like crazy when she is with them. Peyton is way more hesitant and mom is allergic so we tend to just watch as Presley wraps her arms around these horses.

Presley- keep on doing what your doing! You are amazing and it is so fun to see your smiling face when you are riding.
