Family Day at the Barn

Michelle, Austin and I spent some time at the barn today for Michelle's first lesson on Rhett.  The arena at Cape Cod Farm is awesome but it is an awfully difficult photographic challenge because it's quite dark.  Here's a few of the pictures from the day!

Michelle riding saddle seat

Rhett looking concerned about his first lesson

She's "tickled pink" :)

Rhett starting to get comfortable...

NOT! 

Hitting his stride with the trot

Cantering

Stretching out in his stride

They're both surviving and pretty happy about it 

Now he's just showing off

Buddies

Austin scratching Rhett's nose

I think Rhett likes it! 

Austin's starting to warm up (he's a little scared)

Muahhhh!

Busted! and a little embarrassed 

A rare picture of me.  I look much better behind the lens

Michelle getting artistic

This is where we part ways

I'm on to you...

Austin actually got on!
