Giddy-up Girl


Our new next-door neighbor Charlie is a horse trainer with a beautiful ranch in the foothills of Santa Barbara. He invited us out to the ranch a couple of times to see the horses and gave the kids riding lessons. We've won him over by delivering warm, yummy baked treats on a regular basis. Ben loved the horses, but Ben pretty much loves anything new, he’s our jump right in guy. Clara, on the other hand is typically more reserved.

However, from the moment Clara got to the ranch it was as if she was home. She was calm, focused and so content. Watching her ride Sprinkles around the ring, Leah had to put the camera down and soak in the wonder of this strong, confident little girl doing something she loved and doing it well.









Ride on baby girl, ride on.
