For Sophie's big birthday surprise we took her horse-back riding. She has been begging for 2 years to go and we thought she was finally ready. She had no idea where we were going and when we got there the look on her face was price-less!!

Jake and Sophie shared a horse for the hour long trail ride. It was a great experience for both.

The trail ride was beautiful! Going through the river for me was the best part.

When we got back from the trail Sophie was brave enough to handle a horse on her own. What a natural. She was able to lead the horse in whatever direction she chose as well as make him stop. Her horses name is "Whitey" and is a cross between a regular sized horse and a pony. Just the right size for Sophie.

Getting Sophie to leave was tough but we had a great time and hope to go back. Maybe next time we'll brave it with Owen!
