Katie's teacher, Mrs. Nelson, gave each of her students a reading goal last trimester. When they reached 100% of their goal she gave them a certificate and invited them to come spend an afternoon learning about her horses. They are allowed to bring their family. This is what we did last Saturday. She gave Katie this cute cowgirl hat as a gift and taught her how to care for the horses. Mrs. Nelson has five horses, so each of the kids got to ride for about 45 minutes. They loved it!
Katie got to ride first and I was surprised at how natural she seemed on the horse.
After a few minutes of guiding her, they let Emma try riding on her own. She did a great job.
Andrew's horse took off on a run for a few minutes. He did a good job not showing his fear.
Nathan had fun but he wasn't thrilled about riding a horse with a pink and purple blanket. (It was a girl horse too.) This kid is all boy.Thanks Katie for earning this major award!

HOW WONDERFUL!! Good job Katie!!! That Nathan is hilarious!!!
When i saw that she had won a "major award" i was sure it was a leg lamp with fishnet stockings, but i suppose a day of riding horses was much more fun for her. What a fun teacher!
Your teacher is awesome Katie, and so are you!
Way to go, Katie! I'm so proud of you!
How cool is that!! We bribe our kids with money to get them to read, but somehow I think they would like riding horses more!
