Lauren seemed so tiny riding her horse, "River", but she wasn't a bit scared. I loved how the guides would repeatedly tell Lauren, "you're doing great, little one." In this picture you can see how comfortable and relaxed she looked--she was a natural!
Caleb really enjoyed riding "Magic", who liked to be up in the front of all the other horses. The horses were really calm and knew just what to do.
Our "Early Bird Special" included a trail ride through a stream and a beautiful ride along the beach. I was a little nervous watching my children approach the steep cliff and trail down to the beach, but the guides were helpful and everyone made it down safely.
The beach was my favorite part of the ride. The horses trotted along and the experienced riders (Dad) even got to gallop. It was so quiet--we felt like the only ones there. My face was perma-grin the whole time watching the kids having so much fun. Whitney would giggle every time her horse started trotting, which always got me giggling too. We all felt very small after getting off the horses. I was a bit sore the next day, too.
I would love to do this again. Brad stayed back with Andrew, so he definitely needs a turn next time!

The horse back riding looked very fun. Glad you and kids had a great time.
