Zoe's got another rider

Zeke is now big enough to ride a horse by himself. He can keep his balance and follow directions. So I asked him if he wanted to ride a horse and he said yes. We kept it short the first time and we forgot his helmet. The second time was a little bit longer and we remembered the helmet. He didn't mind having the helmet on his head. Each time he wants to stay on longer. He also gets so excited that he will talk to anyone out at the barn about riding his horse. He just rambles on and on. Usually he is on the quiet side but he's so excited that all the words just bubble out. So now he calls Zoe is his horse and the old saddle that I use he says is his saddle. I wonder what Zoe thinks of all of this. She probably likes it since it doesn't involve work.
