Jumping~

Madelyn is learning a lot and improving with her riding skills. Here are a few pictures as her trainer, Mrs. Christy, at Hanoverdale Farms gives her instructions during her lessons. (These are pictures from a couple lessons)

 
 
 
 


Stopping for instruction from Christy







At the end of the lesson there are usually other riders watching and warming up as Madelyn finishes her session. She has enjoyed getting to know the girls and has also had the opportunity to help them at a show.

 
Madelyn has enjoyed riding with Megan for over a year now. These girls have both come a long way and their growing friendship is sweet. They have a lot in common and her family is a part of a church plant on the West Shore.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Olivia watches Madelyn closely and wants to be right in the mix while tacking and untacking the horses.
 
 
Maranda recently started riding and joined the girls on Wednesday nights : )

ART Show ~Breanna

Breanna participated in an art show for the "School of the Arts" and I must admit it was a very proud moment to see her work displayed in the show.


This oil painting now hangs on our living room wall. 



Watercolor teapot...wish I had this fancy frame.

Charcoal lion

This is a dragon that she and her friends started last year during their free time at art club.  After much work and a few transformations, here is the finished product. It is difficult to see in the photo but the dragon is made up of individual scales.  Lots of time and effort went into this project.


The kids spent time looking at all of the art but they would always end up back in front of  Breanna's pieces.  They were so proud of her work. 

I enjoyed watching her talk about her paintings with teachers, students and other parents.
