My name is Skyler Rahn and I am nine years old. I live in Allen, NE. My Grandma Marvel (Team 70: Follow Your Dreams) gave me a horse when I was three, and a pony when I was five. The Derby sounds like fun!
My horse's name is Sandy Fox. She is a seven-year-old Buckskin Quarter Horse mare that my grandma is raising. My pony's name is Katie. She is ten years old.

FINALLY ... I got to ride my pony! I had fun and got Katie to trot just a little.
ReplyDelete(NOTE from Grandma Marvel: Finally after months of freezing cold weather, school functions, busy weekends, rain, rain, more rain, and tornado watches and warnings, Skyler was finally able to come to ride Katie.)

07-19-14 SKYLER'S VERY FIRST TRAIL RIDE
ReplyDelete7.62 miles on Katie in 2.5 hours at Allen, Nebraska. (3.1 mph moving average / 5.2 mph maximum / 3.0 mph overall) We started and ended at the park in town. There were ten riders total (Golden Spurs Saddle Club). We enjoyed a road ride with little traffic and beautiful weather. Marvel ponied Katie off of Star and both did great. Skyler started out wondering if she had to do the "whole" ride. By the end of the ride she was looking forward to the next trail ride "as long as it is in Nebraska." (Perhaps she thought Grandma Marvel was taking her to Mount Rushmore. LOL) She was all smiles and having a blast trotting on her awesome pony.

Today in the round pen at Grandma Marvel's (rural Wakefield, NE) with several breaks. (School starts Thursday already.) Skyler rode Katie then she rode Star for the first time ever. At first she didn't even want to sit on him because "he is soooo tall" but now she wants to ride him by herself. Progress and confidence!!!!
