Knight has officially begun...

His training.

Before I even begin telling you how our first day of training went, let me just give a huge thank you to one of my best friends, Lani.  She is an incredible person, a lover of horses, and a downright amazing trainer.  Also, her boyfriend, Jake, who helped with filming and peanut-gallery instructions ;)

Here are some photos of our day...


 And...I'm finally on him!

 

Just so everyone realizes...this ^ was a dream come true for me.
Ever since I was 3 years old, I dreamt of 
#1 - having my own horse. 
#2 - it being young.
#3 - training it myself.

God made all those dreams possible through my Knight.

And here's a video that Lani made of our day too :)

Anyway, that's a little glimpse into Knight's and my life right now:)  
He is SO amazing and I am SOOO proud of him!!!  I can't wait to start trail riding him this summer!!  Or actually, just in the next couple weeks!  Woohoo!

(PS: I meant to post this awhile ago.......can anybody spell 'busy'??)
