More than anything, Emily has been wanting to ride horses. Well, at first she just wanted one as a pet, but wasn't sure she actually wanted to ride it. Things change quickly when you are 7. She is certainly a girl that loves animals, in a deep and connected way, so it isn't too surprising. Especially after we read the lovely Sophie series by Dick King-Smith (of Babe fame), in which Sophie begins with pet pill bugs, followed by a cat, rabbit, and dog........ and culminates in Sophie getting.........a horse. Oh and a farm in the Scotland Highlands. We'll settle for some horse riding lessons in Oakland. And hopefully that is enough to keep Emily's spirits bright and her confidence and skills growing. It certainly made me a proud mama to watch her leading her horse around the rink.
