We had a great time Saturday afternoon as Gabriel's brother Franzi came for a ride as well. The boys were quick to get the tack out and onto the rail and then out into the paddock to muster some horses. Once the horses were in the stalls Franzi took Grace and Gabriel Bucky.
Franzi was keen to learn and soon had Grace groomed and was mounted. This young man has very long legs, we had to adjust the stirrup leathers right out.
They took it in turns to ride in the round yard, Gabriel continued to make progress with his trotting and Franzi spent time transitioning from walk to halt and back to walk. Soon we were out into the exercise paddock going through the bending poles and then into the arena for a walk around the track. We were very impressed by how well the boys did, they both had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing them next week. We were also very proud of Bucky and Grace.
