Yesterday afternoon we took the Girl to a nearby nature trail so that she could ride her bike. It started off well enough, she was excited and ready to go. It quickly went downhill though when she crossed paths with two horses. Two summers ago we went horseback riding on the beach - she rode on a horse with me and loved it. I guess maybe the horses looked intimidating yesterday from the ground vantage
point. She immediately wanted to go home but as we'd not even been there 5 minutes we told her that instead of going home we'd turn around and go in the opposite direction on the trail. About a 1/2 mile into the ride she got over her anxiety and started to enjoy herself. On the way back to the car she got tired of riding and J took over.
