Elsa on Apollo

So it was Elsa's fourth lesson today. I've somehow forgotten to write that they're actually ponies, not horses. I think they're pretty big ponies though. The horses they've got there are LARGE. I'd probably even be afraid to ride them. Anyway, Thad and Kajsa came along to take pics. The lighting, motion and distance was NOT optimal...... So I'm sorry to say, but this is the very best un-fuzzy picture that we have :) We did get a little clip of the real deal though. Elsa is riding Apollo this time (not that it matters at all, it's just fun to include). Apollo was a little mischievous while we were trying to get him all ready to ride. At one point I was worried he was going to eat me. Turns out he was nice when it came to riding, whew. Elsa still doesn't like to trott.....infact she HATES it. We're not quite sure how do handle this dilema yet. Today we had quite a lot of time to learn how, but she refused. Grrrrrrrrrr. I'm going to try and build her up so it won't be the same thing next week. Any ideas on how to help her not be afraid?
