Kenna's first pony ride

We thought it would be fun to take McKenna to ride a pony for the first time ever since she just had her 3rd birthday. When we told her we were going to go ride a horse, she was so excited and kept asking every day "ride the horsie?" I told her it wouldn't be until Monday and showed her on the calendar how many days.
Whenever she told people she was going to ride a horse or if we asked her if she was excited she would just say "on Monday I am going to k"
There was this little equestrian ranch in Spanish Fork that Travis called up and asked if our daughter could come ride a pony and feed it and stuff and they said sure so we decided to go.
There were a lot of horses there and McKenna was so excited when we pulled up, she kept pointing to them and saying "I wanna ride that one" and she just really wanted to pet them all.

One of the employees came and took out one of the small horses and McKenna got to pet it while she brushed it and put on the saddle so Kenna could ride it. There were lots of flies around of course and so McKenna kept saying "eew bugs."
Once the horse was ready, she led it into the arena and we put McKenna up on it and the lady started leading the horse around in circles. McKenna absolutely loved it! She was so excited and looked so cute sitting up on it.

Travis was walking beside her trying to hold her a little in case she fell off but she wanted to do it all by herself without anyone touching or helping her.
She rode for about 20 min or so and then the lady brought the horse back and Kenna got to feed it a treat. She kept saying "come here horse," and gesturing with her hand for it to come....It was the cutest thing! When she was feeding it she didn't rally like the feel of the lips on her hand and was kind of scared, so she watched daddy do it instead.

We had a really fun time and I loved seeing her enjoy something so much. I think we will have to do it again sometime because that is all she talks about. Everytime we say prayers she says "thank you that we could ride the horsie," and she always talks aobut how fun it was.
