Leilani finally takes riding lessons in California too. <\/p>\n

The 28 year-old pony’s name was Cherokee. Leilani had never heard that word or name and after the lesson asked if the pony really was named “Turkey”… he still ate our carrots.<\/p>\n

Yes, English not Western. I bet some of my readers have a hard time understanding this, especially the ones who know me for a long time… there are reasons for it though. I will certainly allow Leilani to ride both styles and take her pick once she is old enough, and if I go back to horseback riding I will not consider English. [Andy adds: I thought that only had to do with the type of hat they wore…] [Sonja adds: No, the only thing they have in common is a horse]<\/p>\n

Since she was not allowed on the horse in running shoes the instructor loaned her some riding boots (way too big, made for 6 year olds) and told us where to find them – we went to the HMB feed and fuel (!!) and tackle store but they also had pink cowboy boots. Light-up pink cowboy boots. That’s what we bought. It was actually the only thing that was her size with a zipper and all the others “hurt Leilani’s feet…” Andy thinks they will scare the horses. I think they will scare the instructor. Leilani thinks they are the most beautiful boots ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
