Outside of Fox Horn Stables
On Friday, July 31, we were invited to bring a few of our friends from Hillside to Fox Horn Stables to ride horses. We were able to bring four of our youth from Hillside Court, and the daughter of one of our Americorps members along on our adventure. None of us had ever ridden a horse before, so we were all a bit hesitant at first, but by the time we had to leave, everyone wished we could stay longer! Here are a few of the photos from our adventure.
We got to brush and pet the horses first…
and clean their hooves!
Then we took turns riding Smoke and Bo. This is Janelle riding.
Yasia riding on the Western saddle.
Jocelyn riding. Cute helmets right?
Jennifer riding.
Jean settling in on the horse.
Janelle and Jean became fast friends.
The whole group and the wonderful people who made it all possible!
Tiffany and I had never been horse back riding either, so we had a great time riding as well!

After we rode, we enjoyed pizza and homemade lemonade and brownies! Then we got a chance right before we left to feed the horses some carrots. We might have eaten more than we actually fed them though.
