Panda the Pony

Ella got to ride a pony for the very first time on Mother's Day. Greg's cousin's wife and daughter came up to visit for the weekend, they live about 3 hrs south of us in WA. On Saturday we got to show them around Bellingham on on Sunday we joined them at the Equestrian Center where one of their horses is being trained. They brought their pony up with them for Ella to ride.
Ella greeted Panda the Pony
Ella, Elise and Panda
Ella was very quiet while riding, but her smile says it all.



Rubbing Panda's nose after the bridle was taking off.
Ella loved washing Panda! It reminded her of the computer game bellasara that she loves to play.
Ella got to sit on Elliot too. Elliot is Deanna's horse that is in training. I think this is the second time I've seen Ella in pants since she's turned 4- She wears dresses every day! In fact she wore a dress to church Sunday then we insisted she wear jeans to ride. We weren't home 5 minutes before she had changed herself back into a gown- After all, she is a princess.
