On the back of a horse he's a different kid. He has so much compassion, and I think the horses respond to that. He took lessons at Kaufman's on 146th Street. We really liked that barn...it was more of a laid back atmosphere and not quite as pricey as some of the others!Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053480963082704523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-78731729641342352422009-10-22T17:51:17.041-04:002009-10-22T17:51:17.041-04:00Having children, myself, that are all so incredibl...Having children, myself, that are all so incredibly different, it's so important for me to help each of them find things they love. Where they feel joy. What a blessing for Emma to find her fit. That makes me very happy. All children should have the opportunity to find what they love.

There were a few, ummmmm, missteps, but today they are grown adults, living in different parts of the world - flourishing.<br /><br />Emma is lovely. I am so happy to hear that she is enjoying her riding lessons, and may I say that you're a good Mom to know what it takes to help her find her way.<br /><br />ZuzuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-33411544478323329412009-10-22T11:48:23.039-04:002009-10-22T11:48:23.039-04:00I was such a Homebody in high school.

What a great mama you are to lead her to it. <br /><br />Will was like her in that we signed him up for every sport and he hated it. He hated "team" anything. Then in 10th grade, he picked Photography for his elective and he found his place. <br /><br />Our children are not us....they just come through us.<br /><br />xoxo, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244507266596613034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-34732467954553859592009-10-22T07:32:14.615-04:002009-10-22T07:32:14.615-04:00Good morning Jen :)
