Elina's Horse Riding Camp

This was Elina's second year to go to day camp and ride horses. Her favorite horse from last year, Ronnie, had tragically died from colic during the winter. He now grazes the eternal meadows. Instead Elina got to ride May for 5 of the 7 riding sessions. She loves May, and wasn't very happy about riding the slightly more temperamental Tug for the riding session parents attended! But she did great. These pictures show her riding Tug. But he is a beautiful Morgan, 27 years old and a former world champion show horse. In fact, there is not an ugly horse in the whole establishment. And Elina's riding improved a lot this week. I didn't get a variety of pictures this year. Julia is too wild to control while follow the group in various settings. But HERE are pictures from last year, and Ronnie, rest his soul, is pictured there, too.

There's that smile!
