Hattie's first pony

Our small town hosts a rodeo every fall and we went to a pre-party a few weekends ago. It was an evening of events to bring some attention to our down town area.

The main reason we attended was the pony rides. I was SO EXCITED to put Hattie on a pony for the first time.

My husband tried to warn me that his side of the family does not get along with horses. I brushed him off,but it looks like Hattie picked up his preferences on this one.

Can you see her look of terror? "I hate ponies!"
 Luckily, she was able to briefly reach her hands up to frantically sign "all done!!" before grabbing the pommel again inn terror. The kind pony handlers offered us a refund and clearly felt terrible that our toddler was crying in response to their gentlest pony.

Lesson learned. Hattie likes petting animals, not riding them.
