Cheyenne & Isabel


Isabel has riding lessons every week with Auntie Rachel.  However, last week Auntie got hurt and couldn't do lessons for the next several weeks.  She set up a 'sub' trainer for Isabel to have this week.  She was so thrilled to ride but also because Papi was going with her, however he didn't show up.  She was so disappointed.  She kept begging Papi if she could groom Cheyenne since it had been a week since she last was.  She was telling him she knew how to do it and where everything was to do it and that Cheyenne is her horse and she knows how to take care of her.  It was really sweet.  Papi let her feed her a bit but decided to leave.  They waited for an hour for the other trainer to show up.  She came home completely devastated.  She just sat next to me and snuggled in and cried.  I felt so helpless.  She loves riding and it means SO much to her.  She loves Cheyenne so much too.  It was so sweet to see how much she truly loves it and knows what to do but if also broke our hearts seeing how hurt she was.  Hopefully next week Auntie is well enough to teach the lesson.
