Connor Gives Pony Rides

Last weekend, my sister came to visit.  She was picking up her wedding dress, which I scored new on eBay in her size for $1000 less than the bridal shop wanted. #winning


While she was here I threw her up on Connor for a pony ride.  Despite having the same genetics and upbringing, she'll be the first to tell you she didn't inherit the horse gene from our mom like I did.  But all things considered, she was a good sport.

"Who dis?"

We walked, trotted, and did a little in-hand leg yield and shoulder-in.  Connor took great care of her, but true to his nervous nature had the hairy eyeball almost the entire ride.  I'm guessing this is something we could desensitize a bit, but also it's just who he is to be happier with a confident rider and predictable situations.

Also my "little" sister is like six inches taller than me!
