The second day of riding was a hit. I watched from a distance so that he could establish his own relationship. He got to ride Blue again and learned how to mount and dismount independently. He tacked up with Karen's help. He did lead line work learning how to put his heels down and toes up, and use his seat and voice to halt. And off lead line he went steering and moving. Karen had a super way of making a game out of the work. It was clearly hard work learning to squeeze his legs. Frazer enjoyed giving Blue an apple.
We went to library after riding and returned some books and foudn a book on CD and matching novel -- Peter in Scarlett.
The project was full and chaotic today with all members there. It was fun and the kids are enjoying each other. Frazer is easily able to focus even with others doing other things for most of the time. He drew a great picture of a horse with pencils and then used the markers again to go over it. I pushed him to do another pencil drawing and he did. I think he presses down so hard that he is not able to control the marker strokes. I don't want to change his drawing but I want to make his depictions more accurate.
He then ahd soccer in which he worked hard and scored a goal in the scrimmage.
He ate aton for dinner, planned for his field trip tomorrow and and we read some more Mudsharks.
