Horseback Riding

this week with the taintor's here it's been hard to share them with the kopenhefers, only because i love spending all my spare time with them!!! as i'm sure they feel the same way, i mean this is the taintor's for heaven sake! danielle's sister jeanene owns horses, and they were sweet enough to share the taintor's with us and invited us to go horseback riding. i have never been, i have this fear that i would be bucked off and break my neck or something. adam talked me into coming though, and i figured elizabeth would have fun, so we went.
it was funny because when we got there i was asking jeanene what horse we were riding and she was telling me about the horse, and what a good horse he was. her husband was saddling him up while we were talking and josh got up onto the horse. then all the sudden the horse just started running really fast, then faster, until josh pretty much flew off right onto his back! he jumped right up and showed the horse who was boss, but i turned to jeanene and said 'umm...so that's the horse we are riding?' you could hear the fear in my voice...and i'm not kidding, and then we all started nervous laughing.
josh assured us that has never happened before, so we did, we rode that horse. ryan was the only brave one to actually run with it a little.
elizabeth had so much fun! she struggled a little when we first got on the horse, but then she was giggling and having a ball. since we went that is all she talks about, is riding horses...her little rocking horse just doesn't cut it for her anymore.
