The Weiss Family: Horse Riding

We are lucky because Fort Gordon has a decent sized horse stable. Its farther out in the ‘country-side’ of post so its enclosed in a wooded area. We have been up their numerous times to visit the parks they have there. The area actually has 3 separate jungle gym/parks located right next to each other which the kids always enjoy. They whole area is quite nice because of being wooded there is lots of shade which is awesome around here where the sun is almost always out. Anyway, we recently found out that the kids could ride ponies for 1/2 an hour for a total of $11 all together including the helmet rental. So we figured it was totally worth a try and it was a massive success! They kids had such a blast. Amelia, in true girl fashion, couldn’t stop talking the ENTIRE 30 minutes. It was so very cute. She talked about the horse, and they things she saw and a whoaaa here and there if a misstep were to occur. Alex was a little quieter but had a smile plaster on his face during his ride. Dan said he spent most of his time trying to follow the path arrows directing Dan ‘yeft’ or right. Needless to say we will make sure to do this again several times before we leave next summer!
