A new era on Pebble Creek for us

Invited to join the Pebble Creek Horse Association by Sam Kirk - who, together with his spouse Elizabeth, have nurtured and promoted the presence of horses on Pebble Creek for more than thirty-five years - we are off to a grand start as Thalia and Emmy took a lesson from Emily Jacobs, an experienced horsewoman and outstanding teacher. There is a video at the end (#26).
