And she did and she LOVES it still!!! Equest in Wylie, TX has always been so much fun and when we end this semester Ella will have been a horse rider for over a year. I love that she has two very tall men for "side walkers" and she talks to them both the whole time. This is her horse, Stren, whom she loves...she buries her face in his mane when she first gets on...and she loves to scratch his back. I'm so greatful for this program!!
