Horse Class

The city parks and rec dept. sponsored a class called "Horses Up & Close" and I enrolled Elise since she LOVES horses.  There were 4 sessions of the class and it was really fun even though it got off to a rocky start.  The first day of class the instructor didn't show up because she got stuck in Florida due to a hurricane.  She called the parks and rec manager who didn't pass the message on to any of the parents.  So we all showed up and there was no teacher and nobody could figure out what happened.   The class was supposed to have 8 kids but since many of the parents were disgruntled and demanded refunds, only 4 actually showed up for the rest of the classes.  This meant that each of the kids in the class had their own horse to ride the whole time during the 3rd and 4th classes.  It turned out great for us even though it was crazy at first.  Elise hopes to take the "advanced" class if the series is offered again.
