Saifi Stables

The kids went for their first horseback riding lesson this weekend. I had heard there was a good stable in Amman. Not surprising given our proximity to Saudi Arabia. I didn't know what to expect, and instead of just a ride or a walk, they were given an orientation session where they learned some of the basics of riding and taking care of their equipment and the horse.






I forget the names of the kids' horses, except for Clementine's. Her horse was named Itsy Bitsy. 




The three of them essentially had a private lesson where they learned to balance in the saddle and even trot. Sam impressed their instructor when he hopped into the saddle. Seriously, he looked like the Lone Ranger!


Clementine had a frown on her face when we finished. She was smitten and didn't want to be done. I think she will be back for sure.
