Field trip to The Saddle Doctor

What a perfect day for a field trip!

Today, Gabrielle's pre-k class went to visit The Saddle Doctor in Timberville. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the kids had a blast! We got to see how they repair & make saddles, try out some of the tools they use to clean/shoe horses, play on the stuff they use to train the horses, pet the horses & meet a 2 day old filly! Gabrielle was so comfortable with the horses & insisted on petting every single one. It was so much fun!
