I love it when my little riders who have become nearly grown come back and ride. I did not teach Ashley to ride. She was a competitive star before we ever met. I did teach her how to understand horses better.
Saturday she was back out to ride. She had an English saddle on Joseph. We went up to a ditch that was not very deep but had briers on each side. Most of the horses had at least some degree of difficulty with the obstacle. I looked behind me just in time to see Ashley lean forward on Joseph's neck as he jumped the ditch, briers and all.
It was one of those many "wish that I had a camera with me" moments that Ashley created riding with us over the years.
Here is a shot of Ashley riding Tradewind in his first parade in Duck, North Carolina, a few years ago.
