Last summer my daughter had her first riding lesson. She was excited but nervous around horses. Now I watch her calmly and confidently lead the horse out of the ring after her lesson.

that is a really beautiful shot. she looks so happy and confident. it must be a real pleasure for you to see her in such a happy state.
How quickly we go from panicking about something our children do to accepting it as normal. They grow up so fast!
A beautiful natural photo 🙂
Oh bless her, she looks quietly confident leading the horse. Here’s hoping Luce continues to enjoy her hobby x
Thanks Izzie – so far she’s loving it.
She does look so calm and confident! Lessons can really bring out the best in kids! I love horses and I think this photo is amazing as you can see trust in both them! #mysundayphoto
She does look confident and very at ease.
My daughter would be very jealous of this photo; she started riding a few months ago and is no pony mad! It’s an expensive hobby isn’t it?!
Lovely photo

Fantastic photo! Well done your girl x
Thank you Kim 🙂
Ah so lovely my youngest loves riding too, he has been riding for 2 years now its amazing watching them grow in confidence isn’t it ?
It really is lovely – she went from being so skittish and now calm.
A great sport and wonderful for building confidence
It definitely is Fiona. Next step will be for my daughter to learn how to take care of horses.
How lovely that she’s grown so confident, I’m still nervous around horses, so I’m extra impressed by kids who aren’t.
Aah you need lessons then too 🙂

Thank you Darren.
THey are such gentle creatures, I love watching nervous children slowly loose their anxieties about there size and strength. Horses have a willingness and kindness that is incomprehensible until you have felt it! #mysundayphoto
