Horse Saddle Teaches Persistence

Occurred on August 12, 2024 / Surry, Virginia, USA

Info from Licensor: "This is of my 8-year-old daughter and her horse. We discussed that morning she needed to get out and ride since we had a break in the weather from the high heat. She has been taught how to correctly groom and tack up her horse. In this case, Chevy is a little taller and I'll usually put it on for her and she finishes. I pride myself in knowing I'm raising a confident independent kid, but always find myself still wanting to help. I was in the middle of finishing dishes when I looked out the window and saw this. My first initial reaction was to open the window and tell her to grab the mounting block. But, at that moment, I decided not to and just wanted to watch and pulled out the camera. After much struggle, she did it and even went back to ensure the saddle was on properly."
