After a very fun but very quick trip to the beach with my girl friends(more on that in another blog after I get pics e-mailed to me), Jeremy and I loaded the kids up to go to a friends Birthday Party out at Chehalem Ranch in Newbergon Saturday Evening, April 26th. Leila's friend Shay turned 5 and she hosted a horse-back riding party! Cool! Everyone wants a friend who has cool parties like this-- right?
This ranch is pretty neat. They use Norwegian Fjord Horses to provide therapy to clients in all areas: physical, emotional, and mental. This breed possesses a gentle nature and a calm disposition. They do partys, of course, they do regular lessons, and they allow teenages with experience to teach as well. Both kids were a bit nervous when we walked up to the stables. They had thier bike helmets(Leila's had a unicorn, and Nathan was Cars-- what else, right?). They watched for a while. While kids rode around for a while the handlers would play simon says, then they would have the kids put rings on different color cones. Leila and Nate realized it was a lot of fun, so when it was thier turn, they went out to get on the horses. Well, Leila did. Nathan had a change of heart, but his sweet handler let him lead his horse for a little while, and then he built up his courage to take a ride. It was a fun party. The children enjoyed themselves and we had fun watching them. We were grateful to be invited to Shay's party. Thank you!
