Today we went to Denver Equestrians and had a horse riding lesson.  Grandma gave that to use for a birthday present.  We got to learn about taking care of them, brushing them, taking care of their hooves, and how to put on the saddle.

First you have to put on your helmet.

I helped take care of Marley.  I found out that Marley had a twin sister named Georgia.
