Peyton's Riding Club

On April 4th, Peyton started riding club with the Riverton Roughriders. She rides at the Riverton arena every Monday and Thursday nights from April 4th through June 2nd. They will have their District show in Tooele on June 3rd and 4th where her club will compete against other kids clubs in the same district.

She is absolutely loving it!!! As everybody knows, this has been kind of a crazy Spring and hasn't been too warm and we have been getting a lot of rain. There has been one time where she was not able to ride because it was raining so hard and she was in tears. Other than that night, we have been there every time.

I can't believe how confident she is when she rides especially at such a young age. She is doing so well and keeps getting better and better everytime. Plus it helps having a 26 year old horse that takes such good care of her. Rummy has been so good for Peyton and has taught her so much. Even he is enjoying riding club. He feels better the more he is ridden and really seems to be feeling good right now. He is taking her through the poles faster than she has ever gone and she is loving it.

All the kids practicing. This is the 6-8 year old age group practicing the Poles.


Flying through the Poles. Too bad she hit one.


Houston knows it's his turn to ride once Peyton is done.


He thinks he is so big. I think he is going to love riding as much as his sister does.
