Horses with their students... A freind of mine owns a small riding academy for youngster's in our area, and she asked me if I would take some photos of them with their favorite horse.

Why of course....
She has 14 students at this time, these are a few of the photos I took.
The girl in the last photo is one of the instructers she has.
On a side note, all of the horses on this farm are rescue horses, ranging in age from, I think 15 all the way to 27.

Great shots. Horses are my first love. We had 77 at one time (raised them) but usually kept around 40. I think every kid in our small town rode my horses growing up. Horses make better kids.

The best thing for the inside of a woman/man is the outside of a horse.

77? Good gosh! I thought we were doing good taking care of 12-14 horses on our place while working full-time jobs. We enjoyed every minute of it, though.

People who are owned by horses all know this as truth.

Love the photos. Thank you.

Tom, it is a win win.
A win win for the horse
A win win for students with their favorite horse
A win win for you creating some great memories.
The next to last image shows mutual love.
A win win for the owner of the academy
