Makana wanted to go horseback riding very much. Our mail carrier suggested a couple people, but especially liked a certain instructor named Wendy Jacobson at Apple Ridge Farms in Appleton, Maine. We made an appointment for a lesson and went on 4/22/2011! The drive to and from Appleton was beautiful! Spring was in the air!!

 |
| Soooo happy to be riding! |

| Kana watched instructor Wendy clean one hoof. Then she got to clean the other hoof! |
