Zoe’s Riding Lessons – Clyne Farm, Swansea

When we weren’t traveling to Dublin or shopping on the streets of Swansea’s City Centre, Zoe spent much of her second holiday in Wales at Clyne Farm – riding horses!

Needless to say, she continues to impress, amaze (and slightly scare) us with just how good she’s getting.

(Side note: it’s almost as fun to watch Matthew watching Zoe, as it is to watch Zoe during her lessons. Poor Dad – he cringes well.)

Below is a selection of some of our favorites.

Couldn’t resist these cuties, watching Zoe:

Day 2 – getting faster in her I <heart> Roma t-shirt:

Matthew, not liking the faster:

Day 3: and hands down, one.of.my.favorite.pictures:

This one also rocks – and note Zoe’s leather jacket. Next up: motorcycle lessons!

On Day 4, Zoe and one of her instructors went on a hack (aka “ride”) – and this is the sky when they returned:

On Day 5, it was WARM:

And on Day 6, it was WINDY:

But Zoe and Danny ROCKED it – and cantered all over the place:

Much to Zoe’s unbridled (yes, pun intended) joy:

Now all we have to do is wait until next year.
