The weather held out, yay! Holly and Chadwick had plenty of time to get to know each other.
I get very apprehensive over this stuff, talking to new people, doing things for the first time. I am seeing very clearly where I'm rubbing off on Holly, and not in a good way. For the most part, I tried to stay out of the way, just taking pictures.
On a side note, Trevor was thrilled, as it was the FIRST time he really stayed home ALONE! We were very close by, he could reach me by cellphone, or even run over if necessary. Robert had an appointment in Roanoke, and he stopped in on his way home to watch too.
Mary was very attentive to Holly, and the hour long lesson went over by another 15 minutes. After not riding for two months, Holly enjoyed both Mary and Mary's horse. She's making a switch from hunt seat to dressage and will go every week for the first few lessons, and then drop back to just a few times a month. I'm thankful to find a hands on instructor, who is also much closer to home, and I'm hoping? this is an answer to prayer.

Big day for Holly and Trevor. I always love to see Holly's riding photos...the helmet shot is great.
NICE photos. I'm glad the lesson is so close to you. And, a big day for Trevor as well.
What a gorgeous place to be riding a horse! I'm like you are with going new places, etc. It's tough trying to hide that, isn't it? I think I got it from my mom, and I'm trying not to rub it off onto my kids, too. But it's tough! Yay for Trevor! staying home alone is a big deal!
It looks like Holly had a great time. I love that last shot! B LOVES being able to stay home alone & we allow him to do so more and more & for longer times as well.
Very nice photos. We just started to let Colin stay home or home with our Trevor in the last few months. He loves it too. When we went to the race Sunday I didn't even call a neighbor or work out any arrangements. Just let Colin and Trevor stay alone. It was a big step for me since that was a long day. I knew Colin was capable of dealing with things that might come up, even if Trevor could not with his differences, and they did great.
