Youngest ever first paso grin!

[paintedhorizon]

For my birthday, my mom, stepdad and little sis Precious came down. We all went to Stella's on my bday so my mom and Precious could ride a paso.

Well, I was lucky enough to not only get my Mom and Precious up there, but my stepdad who hasn't ridden in 25 YEARS and JACOB!

My 2 yr old Jacob rode three different times and cried every time we pulled him down! YAY!!!! And Stella gave me my very own riding helmet for my bday!

On to the pics

First, here's my mom riding. She LOVED it! She was a bit tense though.

For some reason, nobody got pics of Precious riding with my camera! I know my mom got pics on HER camera though. And video.

Now on to the IMPORTANT pictures! LOL First, Jacob wanted to help brush the horsey.

Rita knew she had special cargo up there! She was moving very slowly with me!

Gee...how old is your mom...looks more like your sister! Bet there were lot's of Paso grins that day!

What a pretty sweet mare!

[paintedhorizon]

She's 50. She was 19 when she had me. She'll love to hear that!

My mom actually danced when she got off!

What a great birthday gift! We need to do a Rita Rocks thread...she's an awesome mare! :D

Thanks for sharing your day. :D

[pasoguy]

He looks like a natural!! I think he will be bugging you to take him to ride all the time. I'm glad to see all is well at Stella's place. It has been a while since I've talked with her. I wanted to breed my mare to Pazzaro, but things just haven't worked out as of yet. I love his conformation and size, I'm still hoping to one day have a baby out of him.

Rita Rox!
And Jacob sure did look happy up there. 8-)
So cool to hear your mom loved it as well.

You've hooked some small fries there. So many of those pics are what memories are made of.

You have Paso smiles from everyone and that has just got to be a great feeling.

[Bonnie M]

Great pics!

Everyone looks so happy! So has Jacob been begging to go back and ride more?

[paintedhorizon]

Oh yes! And telling everybody in sight!

[Brigitte]

Great pictures, looks like everyone had fun!
