Hannah & Horses

Hannah began horseback riding about 2 years ago. She started with a great instructor in Flower Mound. We were so disappointed when she decided to up and leave us for South Dakota, but we know it was a good decision for her. Hannah has also taken lessons almost the entire 2 years with Sydney. Hannah & Sydney became fast friends.

So after Jennifer left we were in search of someplace new. You would think in Texas we could find western/barrel lessons, but they are harder to find than I thought unless you want to drive an hour or more. Finally we came across Hidden Vale Stables in Plano. It's a 30 min drive on Sundays when there's no traffic. Here is Hannah & Sydney at one of their first lessons.







So after 5 weeks of lessons, Hannah's new instructor said she is ready for barrel lessons. On Sunday we drove to Collinsville, TX about an hour northeast of Dallas for a barrel race that her instructor, Rosie, was riding in. This gave us a good idea of what we are getting ourselves into. Here is Rosie:





Hopefully our next pictures from a barrel race will be of Hannah & Sydney.
